When I Was Young Lyrics

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, and I was so much older then
When I was young When I was young When I was young ...
