	Story Behind the Song Inspired by a poem by Dianna Der-Hovanessian. I heard the poem read by Garrison Keillor on The Writer's Almanac on National Public Radio. Lyrics I can still remember,... Like it was yesterday.... Sitting out on the back steps,... Waiting for him to come home and play.... The sun was so much warmer then,... The days were twice as long.... I thought they'd last forever,... How could I have been so wrong.... Now my childhood's gone..., My excuses are gone.... Something's changed in the sun today.... Now my childhood's gone,... My excuses are gone ... Something's changed in the sun today.... Now, I can't see my father,... But he still talks to my daughter.... And whispers secrets in her ears.... Now he won't be bringing... Himself to where I'm singing.... But I know that he can hear.... Now my childhood's gone,... My excuses are gone.... Something's changed in the sun today.... Now my childhood's gone..., My excuses are gone.... Something's changed in the sun today.... We lost him on a Friday,... It was Cheryl's birthday.... That made it so much harder on her.... I feel bad for my Mother..., 'Cause I know how he loved her,... I know how in love they were.... Now my childhood's gone,... My excuses are gone.... Something's changed in the son today.... Now my childhood's gone,... My excuses are gone.... Something's changed in the son today.... I can still remember,... Like it was yesterday.... Sitting out on the back steps,... Waiting for him to come home and play.... The sun was so much warmer then,... The days were twice as long.... I thought he'd live forever..., How could I have been so wrong.... Now my childhood's gone,... My excuses are gone,... Something's changed in the son today.... Now my childhood's gone,... My excuses are gone.... Something's changed in the son today....
