Lyrics
who can remember the very first time
you crawled on the carpet or hummed a line
back when you were one year old
who can remember their own first birthday
waiting all year for your second birthday
back when you were two years old
hey look at you, you’re already three
you’re growing up faster than me
oh, that’s the story i’ve been told
with everything you know how to do
i wonder if even you
can remember when you were two years old
what’s the first memory
your mind’s eye can see
a windy day a winding street
you step in from the cold
was it a word was it a kiss
or just someone you miss
or that you had a sister to hold
hey look at you already three
i wonder what your memories
will be when you’re as old as me
i can’t remember for myself it’s true
but i won’t forget knowing you
back when you were two years old
hey look at you already three
in a world only you can see
with lions and tigers and bears with eyes of gold
with everything you know how to do
i wonder if even you
can remember when you were two years old
