Sixteen Of Me

I was blowing out the candles At the time it was sweet I was dreaming bout the future And all that I could be I had one foot out the door Always ready to leave When I look back I wish I had fonder memories I didn't know anything at sixteen Life is so much more than the fortune and fame When I die the Lord's the only one that needs to know my name Who I am and who I used to be are both dreamers but just dreaming differently Back then I just wanted to sing That was so sixteen of me A white picket fence house where my best friend lives down the street Three kids and a dog don't sound so bad to me Is it settling down if I have everything I need? Growing up and getting older is one big balance beam Of a twenty year olds wants and needs Life is so much more than the fortune and fame When I die the Lord's the only one that needs to know my name Who I am and who I used to be are both dreamers but just dreaming differently Back then I just wanted to sing That was so sixteen of me Sixteen had the fire Twenty has the heart May they meet in the middle And not grow apart
