1)
I used to chase the sun through the open fields,
Barefoot dreams, a heart that healed.
Every swing could take me to the sky,
Every question had no reason why.
We built kingdoms out of mud and sand,
Time slipped like water through my hands.
Now I’m here, and it feels so strange,
Caught in between the years of change.
(Chorus)
Where did my childhood go?
The laughter, the games, the world I used to know.
It slipped away like a fading glow,
And I’m standing here, watching it go.
Oh, where did my childhood go?
(Verse 2)
We painted sunsets with crayons and hope,
Climbed every tree like it was a rope.
Nighttime stories in a blanket fort,
Dreams so big, life felt too short.
But the clock keeps ticking, stealing days,
Turning magic into a haze.
I close my eyes and I see it clear,
But it feels so far from here.
(Chorus)
Where did my childhood go?
The hide-and-seek and the falling snow.
It whispered goodbye, but I didn’t know,
And I’m standing here, watching it go.
Oh, where did my childhood go?
(Bridge)
Now I’m older, they say I’m free,
But the weight of the world feels heavy on me.
I miss the days when the stars would sing,
When every tomorrow could bring anything.
I’m searching for the laughter I left behind,
For the carefree world I can’t rewind.
The grown-up me just wants to find
The little kid I was inside.
(Chorus)
Where did my childhood go?
The fireflies, the rivers that used to flow.
It’s a shadow now, a fading show,
And I’m standing here, watching it go.
Oh, where did my childhood go?
(Outro)
Maybe it’s not lost, just tucked away,
In the corner of my heart, where dreams still stay.
I’ll close my eyes, and let it appear,
A piece of my past, forever near.
Where did my childhood go?
It’s not gone, it’s part of my soul’s glow.
I’ll carry it with me wherever I go,
And I’ll never, no, I’ll never let it go.
