When I Was Young

The rooms were so much colder then

My father was a soldier then.

And times were very hard,

When I was young.

I smoked my first cigarette at ten

And the girls I had a bad yen

And I had quite a ball

When I was young

When I was young it was more important

Paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah... when I was young

Met my first love at thirteen

She was brown and I was pretty green

And I learned quite a lot

When I was young.

The rooms were so much colder then

My father was a soldier then.

And times were very hard,

When I was young

When I was young it was more important

Paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah... when I was young!

My faith was so much stronger then

I believed in fellow men

And I was so much older then

When I was young.
