The Day that Superman Died

I always knew that Superman could fly, And I believed that he would never die. That was how I used to feel, when I saw the 'Man of Steel', In the comics that I read in days gone by. When you're young your Super Heroes are so real, But only when you're young, well that's the deal; That's the time they live and breathe, they are strong, and you believe, But only when you're young, yes that's the deal. Those Saturdays down at the Picture Show, With all the other kids I used to know. For a nickel and a dime, we could move through space and time. But now that seems a long, long time ago. When Superman was up there on the Screen, I always knew that I could live the dream. And know a special truth, that only comes with youth, But now I'm old, I know it's not the same. If I'd recognised my feelings, Then perhaps I would have cried, On the day that Superman died.
