When I was just the age of five 
my world had [bad word] alive 
Wondrous things to be seen and be done 
All that I could think of was fun
With hair of spun gold 
Lips [bad word] red 
and eyes as deep as the deepest sea
And when I was just the age of ten 
my life it did change again 
I threw away all my childish toys 
and worked on getting noticed by the boys
And when i was just thirteen years of age 
going steady was all the rage 
My momma picked me out the cutest boy 
My little leather-jacketed toy
And hair of spun gold 
turned to black as the night 
Lips [bad word] red were turned to pale pink
And when I was fifteen years of age 
he had my hand in marriage 
And when fifteen years of age 
in my arms I held my babe
And now I'm twenty-one 
I feel my life's over and done 
and I'm looking down on my little child 
wondering if she'll be so wild
She's got hair of spun gold 
Lips [bad word] red 
and eyes as deep as the deepest sea
And I'm looking down on my child 
I swear she'll have the time 
There'll be time to love, there'll be time to learn 
Her childish memories she won't spurn
We'll find time to laugh, there'll be time to play 
She won't have to throw her toys away 
I swear to you 
We'll wait for time to take its time
