When I was a boy not much larger than a grasshopper
When I went to bed I hoped I'd have a happy dream
One of my fondest dreams was my visits to grandpa's farm
Grandpa, grandma and I making a churn of ice cream.
Another dream I loved to have was Grandpa and me.
Walking down an old clay road to the old country store
I had to stand on my tip toes to look inside the candy case
Each time all that candy made my mouth water a little more.
