When We Were Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We used to never say never
Used to think we'll live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
And the weeks go slipping and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young
Look back to the best of days
Collecting our yesterdays
As they build up one by one
Oh, how we beg and we borrow
Say we'd do it tomorrow
But tomorrow never seems to come
We used to never say never
Used to think we'll live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
And the weeks go slipping and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young
When we were boys on the beach
Everything was in reach
I know it's hard to remember
But, oh, how the years they vanish
I always wanted to learn Spanish
And travel around South America
We used to never say never
Used to think we'll live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
And the weeks go slipping and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young
Hey, we used to never say never
Used to think we'll live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
And the weeks go slipping and sliding, yeah
Years leave quicker every time they come
Do you remember when we were young?
Aah aah, ah ah
Do you remember when we were young?
Aah aah, ah ah
Do you remember when we were young?
Aah aah, ah ah
Do you remember when we were young?
