Golden Earring When I Was Young Lyrics

When I Was Young Lyrics

From the Album:

* Lovesweat



The rooms were so much colder then

My father was a soldier then

And times were very hard

When I was young

I smoked my first cigarette at ten

And for girls I had a bad yen

And I had quite a ball, when I was young

refrain:

When I was young it was more important

They'd more fun and they laughed much louder yeah,

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

My faith was so much stronger then

I believed in fellow man

and I was so much older then

When I was young
