When I was a baby just like you
My mother gave to me
A magical childhood memory box
With a bright and shiny key
I carry it with me still
Although I am fully grown
Now I'm giving you a new box to fill
With memories of your own
In your room you'll find toys to treasure
You'll have hours and years of pleasure
You'll have lots to put in your magical box
Memories to keep forever
You'll have fluffy toys, puffy toys
Big and small
You'll have teddy bears
And a bouncing ball
Puzzles and crayons and building blocks
All go into your memory box
Storybooks, and rubber ducks
Paints and stickers and cars and trucks
All the above and lots of love
Go into your memory box
Model airplanes and merry-go-rounds
Or dolls or trains or hand-me-downs
A horse that rocks, some musical clocks
All go into your memory box
Toys to push to pull to throw
Powerful toys with engines that go
All the above and lots of love
Go into your memory box
Fantasy play and creative ideas
From your imagination
Party balloons and your favorite presents
From every celebration
You'll have lots to put
In your childhood box
Memories to keep forever
