The Heart Of A Child In You

about

I remember starting to write this song in July 2011. I was sitting at a rusted metal table on the lawn at my parents' old house (the house I grew up in). There used to be a swimming pool where the rusted table was. I was in the process of recording the album Diamonds For The Queen in the basement of the house. The weather was nice.
The music video for this song was filmed in some old city in South Korea, and at my friend's place in Bolton, Ontario (Canada). it features Bradon and Mi Kyeong's lovely daughter, Kaylah.
Here's the video: youtu.be/3oy-7A67lqQ

lyrics

THE HEART OF A CHILD IN YOU
Well, friend, you know
Days used to move slow
We were kids who couldn't wait to grow
But now we're growing old
Used to want to be Jesse James
Clint Eastwood, the man with no name
An outlaw on the trail to wealth and fame
Riding through the desert on a horse with a jet black mane

The heart of a child is pure and true
In his dreams there's nothing he can't do
He's a bird in the sky, he's the man on the moon
He's a cloud floating by on a sunny afternoon
Sometimes the world will bring you down
Friend, don't let it steal your crown
You'll always have the heart of a child in you.

Here we sit wondering why
Time flies as it goes by
See the age in our eyes
Let's drink a toast to the good times

The heart of a child is pure and true
In his dreams there's nothing he can't do
He's a bird in the sky, he's the man on the moon
He's a cloud floating by on a sunny afternoon
Sometimes the world will bring you down
Friend, don't let it steal your crown
You'll always have the heart of a child in you.
