I remember golden years
Learning fast with open ears
All the signs were pointed one way
Dreaming of the simple life
Looking for a guiding light
Close at hand yet so far away
When I was young
When I was young
Everything was easy
Everything so easy
When I was young
When I was young
Now I feel the wind of change
Blowing down upon my face
Finding out the hard way at last
Suddenly the time is lost
Bridges that must soon be crossed
Seem to be a million miles away
When I was young
When I was young
Everything was easy
Everything so easy
When I was young
When I was young
