six years older

[lyrics by Andrew Buller, tune by suno.com - created in Canterbury, Kent - 24/10/24] [intro] [short instrumental] I am six years older always six years older always six years old [short instrumental] I am six years old as I stand upon that step between believing and regret looking out into the memories of what might have been if I'd ever taken that step (did I ever take that step?) to be truthful I don't really know yet would I still have laid down within the snow baptised as an angel I will never know what do we really know? (when we're six years old) [short instrumental] [chorus] I am six years older always six years older always six years old feeling the cold never understanding what I've been told (as I'm always only six years old) [short instrumental] I am six years older sent out to walk ahead and breathe a little deeper for what lies around each bend I am six years charting the stars until you're born the night your light birthed burning spring finally sprung to morn your fresh first baby yawn the daffodil of my dawn [short instrumental] [chorus] I am six years older always six years older always six years old feeling the cold never understanding what I've been told (as I'm always only six years old) [short instrumental] yet our paths trod different avenues for nearly forty years so long to wait with so much weight beneath the fallen leaves and tears I long to lovingly unpack with you reveal those innocent years (reveal our innocence years) [short instrumental] the jelly and the ice-cream the winnie and the pooh the fluffy cloud daydreams the scissors and the glue the collage made for you (the collage made by two) who are six years old come be six years old again again (again) come add your colour come add your fabric come add your endeavour come add your magic [instrumental] I am six years older always six years older always six years old no longer feeling the cold finally understanding what I've been told (I'm always six years old) [short instrumental] as the nights grow brighter and it's getting lighter and we're getting younger (we are getting younger) [short instrumental] I am six years older always six years older always six years old no longer feeling the cold finally understanding what I've been told (I'm always six years old) [short instrumental] and as I return to that step with belief without regret I am six years old I am God's angel (I have my precious angel) [short instrumental] I am six years old we are six years old come be six years old [short instrumental] we are all God's little children remember how to smile my precious little child remember how to smile my precious child
