The rooms were so much colder then My father was a soldier then The times were very hard When I was young When I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten And for boys I had a bad yen I had quite a ball When I was young When I was young
When I was young it was more important Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah When I was young When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen He was brown, and I was pretty green I learned quite a lot When I was young When I was young
When I was young it was more important Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah When I was young
My faith was so much stronger then I believed in fellow men I was so much older then When I was young When I was young When I was young
