	Story Behind the Song I grew up in a very small town in New Zealand, Thames was a major goldmining town in the late 1800's and still has a wonderful historic "air" about it even now. I left there when I was around 8years old so memories of Thames became my "halcion days" later in life. Lyrics When I Was A Boy (Larry Killip) (c) 2002 Running in the sun, Chasing a plane picking up paper and blue cellophane That's when I, that's when I, Was a boy With a big long stick, Under the eaves Knocking off beesnests my friend and me, that's when I, that's when I, Was a boy With imaginary horses we'd ride into the sun, My friend and I, forever young, With no let up 'till day was done That's when I was a boy When rain was rain and sun was sun days were long and we would run That's when I, that's when I was a boy Milk in the billy out at the gate The ice cream man was never late Life was complete and the world was great, that's when I was a boy Oh the wonder of it all inthat sleepy little town There was gold in them hills and smiles not frowns That's when I, that's when I was a boy Running in the sun, Chasing a plane picking up paper and blue cellophane That's when I, that's when I, Was a boy
