When I Was Young

When I Was Young - The Kingston Trio

When I was young and dreams were new

I loved a girl who looked like you

I saw her face in mountains stream

I lingered there and lost myself in dreams

But we were young and tossed away

Our precious love along the way

We parted strangers thoughtless and free

And set our hearts to wandering aimlessly

But looking back somehow I see

How seldom love has come to me

And I confess that now and then

I think of her remembering when

If I were young and dreams were new

I'd love a girl who looked like you

I'd hold her close if she'd agree

To love perhaps a boy who looked like me

Oooooo---
