When I Was Young
I grew up in the town where I was born
When I was born I was very young
When I was young I knew the names of things
Knew the names of flowers, knew the names of streets
I knew the names of all those songs I sung
I knew the words by heart, they rolled right off my tongue
I knew the names of all those songs I sung
I knew the words by heart, when I was young
I learned to drive on black ice and snow
I learned to brace myself against the bitter cold
But when I'd sing I'd start to feel okay
There's more to life than getting through the day
There were so many songs I sung
I knew the words by heart, they rolled right off my tongue
I knew the names of all those songs I sung
I knew the words by heart, when I was young
When I was young
When I was born I was very young
When I was young I knew the names of things
Knew the names of flowers, knew the names of streets
I knew the names of all those songs I sung
I knew the words by heart, they rolled right off my tongue
I knew the names of all those songs I sung
I knew the words by heart, when I was young
I learned to drive on black ice and snow
I learned to brace myself against the bitter cold
But when I'd sing I'd start to feel okay
There's more to life than getting through the day
There were so many songs I sung
I knew the words by heart, they rolled right off my tongue
I knew the names of all those songs I sung
I knew the words by heart, when I was young
When I was young
