Song Lyrics

Was 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,
The girls (?) since then.
Ball
When I was young
When I was young,
It was more important
Much louder
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.
Was so much colder then,
My father was a soldier then.
Times were very hard,
When I was young.
When I was young,
It was more important,
But much louder
When I was young.
