Just a moment ago

(at least, I think it was a moment ago)

I was just a little girl

(just a little girl in love with living)

Just a moment ago

(but where is she now, where, where?)

I was only a child

(only a child with a heart of pure gold)

Just a moment ago

(just one short sweet second ago)

I was playing with dolls

(the world’s a stage, as dear Will said)

Just a moment ago

(and I was a proud and happy player)

I was a wide eyed youth

(these green eyes have seen a lot)

Just a moment ago

(swift sweet Time, you tyrant)

I was a child

(and now, I am somewhere else)
