Sung by: Kathy Rider Written by: Larry Eugene Peterson. I'm a time traveler, I travel back in time. Never to the future for I'm afraid of what I'll find I travel back in time, to a time long ago. I travel back to see a boy I use to know. He's a lonely boy, a lost orphan boy. He walks all alone, no one to call his own. No one to care, no one's love to share. He walks all alone, no one to call his own. 30 seconds of instrumental music.......... I'm a time traveler, I travel back in time. Never to the future for I'm afraid of what I'll find I travel back in time, to a time long ago. I travel back to see a boy I use to know. I've seen so many tears, all through the years. There was no one to hold him, nor to wipe away the tears It hurt so much to see the boy cry. It hurt so much, I wanted to die. I'm a time traveler, I travel back in time. Never to the future for I'm afraid of what I'll find I travel back in time, to a time long ago. I travel back to see a boy I use to know.
