Eddy Arnold When He Was Young Lyrics

When He Was Young Lyrics

When he was young I held him on my knee

Pressed him close to me kissed his tears away

When he was young very young together we would ween

Lands of make believe where we two could play

But how the time hurries by summers go winters fly

Toys on the shelf he can reach by himself

Time hurries on youth is here then it's gone

Yes that's the plan now my boy's a little man

But in my heart forever he will be as he was to me when he was young
