There's something so magical about childhood and the sweet way they view the world. It's how they're excited about everything because everything's new. As we get older, we lose that charming perspective and rue the days when we were younger and we wished childhood away in our rush to adulthood.

I love the song "Catch Another Butterfly" sung by John Denver, words & music by Mike Williams.

Do you remember days not so very long ago
When the world was run by people twice your size
And the days were full of laughter
And the nights were full of stars
And when you grew tired you could close your eyes?

Yes, the stars were were there for wishin'
And the wind was there for kites
And the morning sun was there for rise and shine
And even in the sniffles kept you home from school in bed
You couldn't hardly stay there after nine.

And I wonder if the smell of mornings faded.
What happened to the robin song that sparkled in the sky?
Wheres all the water gone that tumbled down the stream?
Will I ever catch another butterfly?

Do you remember campouts right in your own backyard,
Wondering how airplanes could fly?
And the hours spent just playing with a funny rock you found
With crystal specks as blue as all the sky?

And I wonder if the smell of mornings faded.
What happened to the robin song that sparkled in the sky?
Wheres all the water gone that tumbled down the stream?
Will I ever catch another butterfly?

Now I watch my son. He's playing with his toys.
He's happy and I give him all I can.
But I cant help feeling just a little tingley inside,
When to hear him say he wants to be a man.

And I wonder if the smell of mornings faded.
What happened to the robin song that sparkled in the sky?
Wheres all the water gone that tumbled down the stream?
Will I ever catch another butterfly?
