Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFDD AAGGHHIIJJKKDD LLAAMMCCNNDDOP| I'd like to steal a day and be | A |
| All alone with little me | A |
| Little me that used to run | B |
| Everywhere in search of fun | B |
| Little me of long ago | C |
| Who was glad and didn't know | C |
| Life is freighted down with care | D |
| For the backs of men to bear | D |
| Little me who thought a smile | E |
| Ought to linger all the while | E |
| On his Mother's pretty face | F |
| And a tear should never trace | F |
| Lines of sorrow hurt or care | D |
| On those cheeks so wondrous fair | D |
| - | |
| I should like once more to be | A |
| All alone with youthful me | A |
| Youthful me who saw the hills | G |
| Where the sun its splendor spills | G |
| And was certain that in time | H |
| To the topmost height he'd climb | H |

| Who beheld a shining goal | I |
| And imagined he could gain | J |
| Glory without grief or pain | J |
| Confident and quick with life | K |
| Madly eager for the strife | K |

| I should like to sit alone | L |
| With the me now older grown | L |
| Like to lead the little me | A |
| And the youth that used to be | A |
| Once again along the ways | M |
| Of our glorious yesterdays | M |
| We could chuckle soft and low | C |
| At the things we didn't know | C |
| And could laugh to think how bold | N |
| We had been in days of old | N |
| And how blind we were to care | D |
| With its heartache and despair | D |
| We could smile away the tears | O |
| And the pain of later years | P |
