Nine |
| I remember nine |
| As if it were yesterday |
| I can hear my friends outside of my window |
| Say, «Can you come out and play?» |
| Anna brought a bag of her mama’s cooking spoons |
| So we could dig a big hole, to try to reach China |
| And get there by early noon |
| Our imaginations soared on golden wings |
| Across a sky filled with dreams |
| Any child could wear a paper crown |
| And be a king or queen at nine |
| I remember days of playing without a care |
| Then coming home with sniffles and clothes hanging off me |
| With leaves in my hair |
| Everybody’s child belonged to the neighborhood |
| You could tell your troubles to old Aunt Savannah |
| Cause she always understood |
| Running endless through a field |
| Of emerald green beneath a broad |
| Open sky |
| I will treasure all my days when |
| I was innocent and free at nine |
| Runnin' and jumpin' and skippin' and laughin' |
| Rollin' and shakin' and jokin' and hidin' |
| Mother may I, Simon says, you’re it, you spit |
| Hide and seek, you peeked, no I didn’t, yes you did |
| You’re not fair, I don’t care, I saw Sammy’s underwear |
| Double dutch, kick ball, hop scotch, bobby socks |
| Mary Mack all dressed in black |
| Who is that? |
| Can she play jacks? |
| I’m the doctor, you’re the nurse |
| Whatchu' mean, I was first |
| Shovin' and pushin' |
| Cryin' and screamin' |
| Dreamin' and beamin' and dancin' in a line |
| You show me yours, I’ll show you mine |
| Ah uh I’m going home it’s dinner time… nine |
