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.
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a bad yen,
I had quite a ball
When I was young.
When I was young it was more important.
Pain more pain but I laughed so much louder, yeah.
When I was young. when I was young.
I met my first love at thirtheen.
She was brown and I was pretty green.
And I was learnded quite alot.
When I was young. when I was young.
When I was young it was more important.
Pain more pain though I laughed so much louder, yeah
When I was young. when I was young.
My faith was so much stronger then.
I believed I fellow men.
And I was so mucholder then.
When I was young. when I was young.
When I was young. when I was young.
