Let me play you a tune

 

I found it in a toy store

a place I never thought to look

I used to believe I’d find it

in the pages of a book

But walking down these aisles

and remembering the fun

I found the youth I had before

when life had just begun

There were wings that flapped

and wheels that turned

horns that really tooted

Some had maps

with things to learn

batteries included

I can’t believe the years I spent

pretending I was grown

I couldn’t wait

to drive a car

and be out on my own

When all I ever needed

was this plastic slide trombone.
