- When I Was Young Lyrics

'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

When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
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
When I was young
When I was young

Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
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
When I was young
When I was young

The intensity of the time and the fight of the young people are still very alive in the songs; very present and dominant are the sensations and experiences of love, joy, and even angst. The same time, the song lyrics take us back to the past and show us very clearly how young people in love and had their own pain and laughter and great times.
