When The World Was Young Lyrics

Remember is all I can do

The past seems so far and the future is so new

And the writings on the wall, don't give any more clues

And the ones that come to see you get fewer and few

But there was a time

And there was a place

When these wrinkles didn't cover up the smile on my face

And I wasn't just taking up forgotten space

And I never felt alone because I always had a place

When the world was young and so was I

When you thought more about living than you did about dying

When you had so many minutes, you lost track of time

When the world was young and so was I

Somewhere is someone I used to be

Wrapped in a song of a distant melody

But I'm the only one who knows it

So I'm the only one who sings

The band has left the stand

But I'm still dancing to the beat

I thought I knew it all

Thought I had the key

Oh what I wouldn't give again

To be that naïve

Because when the magic is all you live for

Cause it's all you'd ever need

And the worries of it all never brought you to your knees

When the world was young and so was I

When you thought more about living than you did about dying

When you had so many minutes, you lost track of time

When the world was young and so was I

When the world was young and so was I

When the mind was free and fear was blind

When the love was real and the heart was kind

When the world was young and so was I
