The Rooms Were So Much Colder Then.
My Father Was a Soldier Then.
And Times Were Very Hard.
When I Was Young.
When I Was Young.
I Smoked My First Cigarette At Ten.
And For Girls, I Hall.
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.
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 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.
