Suggestions for a song about childhood/childish song?

I need a song themed around childhood (or else a childish song) for a video/slideshow I'm making for my mother.

I'd prefer a more optimistic song rather than an angsty one (I have plenty of those).... any ideas? I'm at complete loss.

& it would be good if the song was made anytime from the 90s to now.

I'm considering a few songs by Deas Vail... by I haven't found anything that seems "perfect".

Update:

I've also been considering 100 years by Five For Fighting.

    Dear Jessie by Madonna. Here are the lyrics: -

    Baby face don't grow so fast

    Make a special wish that will always last

    Rub this magic lantern

    He will make your dreams come true for you

    Ride the rainbow to the other side

    Catch a falling star and then take a ride

    To the river that sings and the clover that

    Brings good luck to you, it's all true

    Chorus:

    Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Jessie

    Hear the laughter running through the love parade

    Candy kisses and a sunny day, dear Jessie

    See the roses raining on the love parade

    If the land of make believe

    Is inside your heart it will never leave

    There's a golden gate where the fairies all wait

    And dancing moons, for you

    Close your eyes and you'll be there

    Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair

    Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old

    Where dreams are made, your love parade

    (chorus)

    Your dreams are made inside the love parade

    It's a holiday inside the love parade

    On the merry-go-round of lovers and white turtle doves

    Leprechauns floating by, this is your lullaby

    Sugarplum fingertips kissing your honey lips

    Close your eyes sleepy head, is it time for your bed

    Never forget what I said, hang on you're already there

    Close your eyes and you'll be there

    Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair

    Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old

    Where dreams are made, your love parade

    (chorus)

    Your dreams are made inside the love parade

    It's a holiday inside the love parade

    It's a beautiful song. Very upbeat but with such meaning... Never fails to make a few tears fall...
