When I Was a Boy Songtext
von Jeff Lynne

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 want to work on the milk or the bread
Just want to 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 cause it drives me crazy
Just wanna 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
Ooooooh ooooooh

When I was a boy
(End)
