When I Was A Boy Lyrics

When I was a boy I had a dream
All about the things I'd like to be
Soon as I was in my bed
Music played inside my head
When I was a boy I had a dream

When I was a boy I learned to play
Far into the night and drift away
Don't wanna work on the milk or the break
Just wanna play my guitar instead
When I was a boy I had a dream

And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days when there was no money
When I was a boy I had a dream

When I was a boy I had a dream
Finding out what life could really mean
Don't want a job cos it drives me crazy
Just want to sing do you love me baby
When I was a boy I had a dream

And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days when there was no money
When I was a boy I had a dream
