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 for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball,
When I was young..

When I was young,
it was more important.
Pain more painful,
Laughter much louder - Yeah,
When I was young,
When I was young..

I met my first love at thirteen,
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot when I was young
When I was young..

When I was young,
it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder - Yeah,
When I was young,
When I was young..

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man,

And I was so much older then...

When I was young,

When I was young,

When I was young...
