Description
I met Tony over on another music site. His lyrics and vocals were pretty unique, he would throw a pell up to be mix or send me one or two just to add music too. He had passed away two years ago, and while I was going through the pells on my computer I found this one... this one's for you Tone. Wherever you may be.

Lyrics
When I was young it was Dandelions
and rolling Clover hills
Limericks and Lilly Pads
and yellow Daffodils
It was dreams of being all grown up
no more school or early nights
wandering into the wilderness
of concrete and neon lights

But now that I am older
it takes a different view
its aches and pills and stress
and bills ways past over-due
Its wishing to be a kid again
no more work or meals to cook
a big old beached whale on the sand
Rubber Neck Rubber Neck I made you look

Ive just discovered happiness
or rather Ive found the key
Its when I can be all grown up
without killing the kid in me
