Lyrics for When I Was Young

Your arms 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 And I was so much older then When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young
