Nine
Lyricist:Eddie Del Barrio, Dianne Reeves
Nine I remember nine as if it were yesterday I can hear my friends outside of my window Say, 'Can you come out and play?
Anna brought a bag of her mama's cooking spoons So we could dig a hole, to try to reach China And get there by early noon
Our imaginations soared on golden wings Across a sky filled with dreams Any child could wear a paper crown And be a king or queen at nine
I remember days of playing without a care Coming home with sniffles and clothes hanging off me With leaves in my hair
Everybody's child belonged to the neighborhood So you could tell your troubles to old Aunt Savannah 'Cause she always understood
Running endless through a field Of emerald green beneath a broad open sky I will treasure all my days when I was innocent and free at nine Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Nine
Runnin' and jumpin' and skippin' and laughin' Rollin' and shakin' and jokin' and hidin' Mother, may I?, Simon says, you're it, you spit Hide and seek, you peeked, no I didn't, yes you did
You're not fair, I don't care, I saw Sammy's underwear Double dutch, kick ball, hop scotch, bobby socks Mary Mack all dressed in black Who is that? Can she play jacks?
I'm the doctor, you're the nurse Whatchu' mean, I was first Shovin' and pushin' and cryin' and screamin' Dreamin' and beamin' and dancin' in a line
You show me yours, I'll show you mine Ah uh, I'm going home, it's dinner time Nine
Nine Nine Nine ...
