The house I lived in when I was a child Had woods ,we all ran wild You could hide,then come home after a while. The town I lived in when I was young Everybody knew my name The world was my own safe in the dark,playing games Till mama called me home. But that was then and now it's now Everything changes,somehow The house I lived in The town I lived in Everything changes everything O, you been gone so long Memories fade It's dark and I'm afraid I'm your little girl child Your own, your very own Mama,it's late time to call me home. The house I live in my hometown The trees,the city cut them down It's all changed,you can't hide The house stands there,lonely and strange I stood and cried The children,their world is on a screen They play games alone O - was it a dream When mama called me home   But that was then and now it's now Everything changes,somehow The house I live in The world I live in Everything changes everything O, you been gone so long Memories fade It's dark and I'm afraid I'm your little girl child Your own, your very own Mama,it's late,time to call me home I'm your little girl child out here alone Mama,it's late,please call me home.
