Charlie brown says No-one promised this when i was a kid When my days were filled with carousels Fairground rides and co*kleshells Kicking pebbles on a beach When time couldn't reach me And tears were just a memory left to be learned Now days catch me without an overcoat Five o'clock shoes full of snow All rained out, nowhere to go Memories are sure to find you No matter how fast you run Gonna catch up with you Charlie brown says Oh this winter sure sure gets me down When there ain't no friends around
