when will my life begin lyrics
when will my life begin : lyrics
7 a.m., the usual morning line-up
Start on the chores and sweep ’till the floor’s all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up
Sweep again, and by then it’s like 7: 15
And so I’ll read a book
Or maybe two or three
I’ll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I’ll play guitar and knit
And cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?
Then after lunch it’s puzzles and darts and baking
Papier-mache, a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
Then I’ll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb
Sew a dress!
And I’II the books.
If I have to spare
I’II paint the walls some more
I’m sure there room somewhere
And then I’II brush and brush
And brush and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I’ve always been
And I’II keep won’dring
And won’dring
And won’dring
And won’dring
When will my life begin?
Tomorrow night
Lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year
What is it like
Out there where they glow?
Now that i’m older
Mother might just let me go…
