[Verse]
I was 3 years older, maybe 3 years too soon
She was the beauty of the summertime
Just teenagers having some fun
Not bothered by the Michigan sun
I’m remembering when you were sick
You had stayed home from school that day
I sat next to you on your bed
Gently kissing you on your head
[chorus]
You were just a child (I was too)
We were still so young
You were just a child (I was too)
Still just growing up
Then there was the trip to Cedar Point
Sitting in the cramped backseat of my dads car
We found a way for us to sit
Our love was definitely worth it
How about the rides to church on sundays
Where your dad was a devoted Deacon
As long as we were with each other
We would not even think of another
[chorus]
You were just a child (I was too)
We were still so young
You were just a child (I was too)
Still just growing up
Those days are now far back in the past
I can’t go back in time to fix my wrongs
If I could I would have fixed the past
I would have made our love to last
But I didn’t go back to the worst day
Where I said some very hurtful things
I didn’t correct my childish wrongs
All I did was write these songs
[chorus]
You were just a child (I was too)
We were still so young
You were just a child (I was too)
Still just growing up
[chorus]
You were just a child (I was too)
We were still so young
You were just a child (I was too)
Still just growing up
I’m still just growing up…..
