Do you remember days not so very long ago   When the world was run by people twice your size?   And the days were full of laughter   And the nights were full of stars   And when you grew tired you could close your eyes      Yes the stars were there for wishing   And the wind was there for kites   And the morning sun was there for rise and shine   And even if the sniffles kept you   Home from school in bed   You couldn't hardly stay there after nine      And I wonder if the smell of morning's fad - ed   What happened to the robin's song   That sparkled in the sky?   Where's all the water gone   That tumbled down a stream?   Will I ever catch another butterfly?            Do you remember campouts right in your own backyard?   Wondering how airplanes could fly   And the hours spent just playin'   With a funny rock you found   With crystal specks as blue as all the sky      And I wonder if the smell of morning's fad - ed   What happened to the robin's song   That sparkled in the sky?   Where's all the water gone   That tumbled down a stream?   Will I ever catch another butterfly?      Now I watch my son, he's playin' with his toys   He's happy, I give him all I can   But I can't help feelin'   Just a little tingly inside   When I hear him say he wants to be a man      And I wonder if the smell of morning's fad - ed   What happened to the robin's song   That sparkled in the sky?   Where's all the water gone   That tumbled down a stream?   Will I ever catch another butterfly?   Will I ever catch another butterfly?
