Trijntje Oosterhuis - I wish lyrics

Looking back on when I Was a little nappy headed boy Then my only worry Was for Christmas what would be my toy Even though we sometimes Would not get a thing We were happy with the Joy the day would bring Sneaking out the back door To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door With "boy thought I told you not to go outside" Tryin' your best to bring the Water to your eyes Thinkin' it might stop her From woopin' your behind I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go Cause I love them so Brother says he's tellin' 'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl Just don't tell and I'll give you Anything you want in this whole wide world Mama gives you money for Sunday school You trade yours for candy after church is through Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy) Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go Tododododododododo Wow
