Little did I know them
Life would bring a "Mouse Trap"
When all I really wanted was an "Etch-a-Sketch"
Little did I know them
So little did I know then
What I wouldn't give now to know so much.

Well, the "Easy Bake Oven"
Was a red circle item
Santa would be groovy if he brought me that.
Of course he could always bring clothes for my Barbie
A Camelot outfit with a Guinevere hat.

Little did I know then
I never would be Barbie
Heaven didn't give me the stuff for such
Little did I know then
So little did I know then
What I wouldn't give now to know that much

When I was a kid I couldn't wait to get older
And now that I'm older I'd like to be small
Some things I know know I wish I'd forgotten
Some things I've forgotten I'd like to recall

Like how to do cartwheels
And gather up acorns
A jar full of fireflies on a summer night
The very first snowfall, Christmas vacation
Anticipation on the Holy Night

Little did I know then -- Little did I need then
Just what I could reach out my hand and touch
Little did I know then -- so little did I know then
What I wouldn't give now to know that much.
