It might look to you like nothing much to see

But you should see the way it feels to me

Here's the sidewalk I used to ride my bike

Down this little slope, down my little mountain

Start by the driveway spinning up to speed

Careful on the gravel 'cause it's nasty on the knees

Watch out for the branches on that apple tree

Soar down to the corner



Well I guess it's not as high as I remember

It might not be a mountain after all

But it was hard enough to climb

And steep enough to coast

Long enough to satisfy

And fast enough to boast



It may look to you like nothing much to see

But you should see the way it feels to me



Here's the treehouse, I used to spend my night

Up this little tree, way up in my mansion

Jump to the first brach, walk it upside down

Careful of your grip 'cause it's a long way to the ground

Better get a handhold before you look around

You can see into forever



Well I guess it's not as high as I remember

It might not be a mansion after all

But it was hard enough to climb

And safe enough to sleep

Big enough to satisfy

And home enough for me



It may look to you like nothing much to see

But you should see the way it feels to me



Here's the old man who used to be the child

So long ago, not so very long though

Look at the memory, think of all those years

Looking through the sparkle of the sunlight in the tears

Better take another look before you disappear

You can see across your lifetime



So I look at where I've come and where I'm going

I will never be the greatest after all

But it was hard enough to climb

To get to where I've been

Love enough to satisfy

And life enough to live



I make look to you like nothing much to be

But you should see the way it feels to me

You should see the way it feels to me
