When I Was A Young Boy Lyrics

When I Was A Young Boy lyrics

when i was a young boy

advice i would scorn 

now i'm gettin' a little older

i know i got a lot to learn



yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles

i'll look back and laugh

baby, sometimes, in a while



                         (repeat twice)



            and it always seems the same

            and who knows what to blame

            if i knew then what i know now

            the mistakes i wouldn't have made...

            but you can't get a sneak preview

            over what you're gonna go through

            and you have to rely on your body and mind

            to see the light from shade



            life's the same, but time does change

            perspective of your view

            you're lookin' for a mystery

            but you can't find a clue



            some say a man makes his life

            some say that it's fate

            but when you find out what to do

            ohhh, sometimes it's too late...
