When I Was Young Songtext
von Indigo

I still remember sixty-three
School days were thrilling me
Summertime, we spent outside
Playing Indians till the night
When I was young
When I was young

And in my dreams imagined me
To be the captain on the sea
To be a knight on Arthur′s court
Wielding brave the magic sword
When I was young
When I was young

When I was young, I felt so strong
Nothing could have done me wrong
Felt like a hero of the day
When I was young, I fell in love
With a girl who lived above
Until the day she went away


I still remember sixty-five
My grandfather was still alive
And told me tales about the past
And how the world was changing fast
When I was young
When I was young

When I was young, I felt so strong
Nothing could have done me wrong
Felt like a hero of the day
When I was young, I fell in love
With a girl who lived above
Until the day she went away

And for a short while
I learned for the first time
That waking up gives cause for tears and pain

I still remember sixty-nine
It was the Beatles' greatest time
They opened up a door inside
And let the music in my life
When I was young
When I was young


When I was young, I felt so strong
Nothing could have done me wrong
Felt like a hero of the day
When I was young, I fell in love
With a girl who lived above
Until the day she went away

And for a short while
I learned for the first time
That waking up gives cause for tears and pain
Tears and pain
When I was young
When I was young
