I Remember When I Was Young Lyrics by John Farnham

I Remember When I Was Young

0

Well I remember when I was Young the World had just begun and I was Happy
I used to wonder about the Earth and how it moved around the Sun so Snappy
Imagination goin wild makes a very backward child they told me
So back at school Id sit around just waitin for the Sound so I could go Home
Sometimes I think about it It happens every day
I should think of the Present cause the Present Now
Well I remember when I was young how one and Thripence got ya to the Movies
To look Tough we'd Lite a Smoke and very nearly Choke but we had a real good time
Growin older Meant you get to fly a saber Jet and fight a few wars
So id just sit there all day and let my mind decay somethin awful
Sometimes I think about it It happens every day
I should think of the Present cause the Present Now
Well I remember when I was Young I had a secret love who never knew it
Well id do tricks upon my bike that never turned out right I allways blew it
And the day we had to part I had a broken heart but couldn't let on
So I spent my Holidays just thinkin of the ways I must be goin Wrong
Sometimes I think about it It happens every day
I should think of the Present cause the Present Now
SOLO
Well I remember when I was young the Beatles turned me on I really blew my mind
And we'd carry Jack and Pam we'd go and watch a band and have a real good time
Then I heard the Blackmans blues they really blew a fuse inside my head
So with some friends we made a stand and Formed our first Blues Band it was a real good thing
Sometimes I think about it It happens every day
I should think of the Present cause the Present Now
Well I remember when I was Young Well I remember when I was Young I Surely do
Well I remember when I was Young Well I remember when I was Young I Surely do
