 BETH NIELSEN CHAPMAN - Child Again Lyrics

She's wheeled into the hallway
Till the sun moves down the floor
Little squares of daylight
Like a hundred times before
She's taken to the garden
For the later afternoon
Just before her dinner
They return her to her room

CHORUS:
And inside her mind
She is running
She is running in the summer wind
"8n41323p8171923pnn19n
Inside her mind
She is running in the summer wind
"8n41323p8171923pnn19n
Like a child again

The family comes on Sunday
And they hover for awhile
They fill her room with chatter
And they form a line of smiles
Children of her children
Bringing babies of their own
Sometimes she remembers
Then her mama calls her home

CHORUS

Playmate, come out and play with me
[It's raining, it's poring, the old man is snoring]
And bring your dollies three
[Bumped his head on the edge of the bed]
Climb up my apple tree
[Never got up in the morning]
Slide down my rain barrel
[Rain, rain, go away]
Into my cellar door
[Come again another day]
And we'll be jolly friends
[Little Johnny wants to play]
Forevermore
[Some more]

And inside her mind
She is running
She is running in the summer wind
"8n41323p8171923pnn19n
Like a child again
