1. I was a little boy of 9 years old, the whole world in my hands,

tryin’ to toss that ball across the yard, game of
catch with my old man.
Am G C

sorry, every time he had to leave,

and I
was much too young to understand when he would say to me :
D C
When you're young you always think the sun is gonna
to shine,
G D C
there’ll
come a day you’ll have to say hello to goodbye.
G D C
sit down,
