Remember once upon a time
when you and I were young?
The world was simple and sublime
Our song as yet unsung
Our freedom seemed to know no bounds
Our limit was the sky
An air of magic still surrounds
our youth in Uruguay
We couldn’t wait to go outside
to woods or stream or beach
The day unfolding far and wide
was all within our reach
To think we barely noticed when
our summers slipped away
We took them all for granted then
I cherish them today
