Wish I Was a Kid Lyrics by Katey Sagal

Room

2004

[Verse 1]
I remember
Singin' on the swing on Percy Street
Twins and the boys chased fireflies
Summer nights seemed so sweet
I remember
Ice cream on a store-bought pie
Smellin' No. 5 in king-sized kits
Ella on the new hi-fi
[Pre-Chorus]
It was all that I wanted
Forever hung in the air (Forever hung in the air)
[Chorus]
Oh, mama, I love you
That's somethin' that I'm longin' to say
Oh, mama, you'd be here (Oh, mama)
If I was a kid, wish I was a kid today
[Verse 2]
I remember
Drinkin' Night Train on the Palisades
Singin' Joni tunes while the fire raged
Innocence on the fade
I remember
Lookin' for the joy in my old man's eyes
Never knew how to make them smile (Seventeen, a fast goodbye)
[Pre-Chorus]
It was all that I wanted
Forever hung in the air (Forever hung in the air)
[Chorus]
Oh, papa, I miss you (Oh, papa, I miss you)
That's somethin' that I never could say
Oh, papa, you'd be here
If I was a kid, wish I was a kid today
Always
[Verse 3]
I remember
Feelin' the divine and my heart did shift
Fillin' in the cracks in my beaten path
Open to receive three gifts (Three gifts)
I remember
The first one filled me up (Her grace)
There to bless the ones (To come)
The journey, not her fate
[Pre-Chorus]
She was all that I wanted (She's all I wanted)
Forever hung in the air (Forever hung in the air)
[Chorus]
Oh, Ruby, I love you (Oh, Ruby, I love you)
That's somethin' that I never could say (I never could say)
Oh, Ruby, you'd be here (Oh, Ruby, you would be here)
If you were a kid, wish you were a kid today
[Pre-Chorus]
They're all that I wanted
Forever hangs in the air
[Chorus]
My babies, I love you (I love you)
That's somethin' that I always will say
Sweet babies, I'm with you
As if I was a kid, wish I was a kid today
[Outro]
Always
Just as if I was a kid today
But I wish I was a kid today
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight (That I'd be a kid tonight)
