When I Was A Boy Lyrics - Jeff Lynne

When I was a boy, I had a dream 

All about the things I'd like to be 

Soon as I was in my bed 

Music played inside my head 

When I was a boy, I had a dream 

When I was a boy, I learned to play 

Far into the night and drift away 

Don't want to work on the milk or the bread 

Just want to play my guitar instead 

When I was a boy, I had a dream 

And radio waves kept me company 

In those beautiful days when there was no money 

When I was a boy, I had a dream 

When I was a boy, I had a dream 

Finding out what life could really mean 

Don't want a job 'cause it drives me crazy 

Just wanna sing, "Do you love me, baby?" 

When I was a boy, I had a dream 

And radio waves kept me company 

In those beautiful days when there was no money 

When I was a boy, I had a dream 

When I was a boy
