I wish I could dance away my pain
and feel like I did as a child
not caring about anything
having no worries
twirling around till I got sick
I wish I could spin my way back in time
to relive those good times
the embarrassing times
which weren't embarrassing because we didn't know the meaning of such a thing.
I wish I could dance away the heartbreak
I had over the years
and feel like I did as a child
I wish I could spin my way back in time
to relive those good time
not fearing what is to come
not worrying who will love me
I wish I could dance away the memories
of the sadness I caused
and feel like I did as a child
being the happy-go-lucky girl I was
I wish I could spin my way back in time
to relieve those good times
always holding a smile
always making adults awe
never realizing how great it was
I wish I could dance away my tears
the tears that I shed every day
and feel like I did as a child
when I only cried when I had a boo-boo
I wish I could spin my way back in time
and relive those good times
when a scraped knee was magically healed with a kiss from mom
when I was carefree and adventurous
when life made sense without making sense at all
when everything was less complicated
when nothing really mattered
I wish I could dance away
to the moon and stars
I wish I could spin my way back in time
to relive the good ole' days
twirling around till I got sick
and when love meant no pain

That's very sweet. I remember childhood, carefree and just full of wonder. Of course there was more to it than that... but it was a simpler time and I really miss it. Your piece is lovely, I really understand the words you are saying. Thanks for entering and good luck.
