Oh, To Be Young
Oh, to be young again
To do the things I did then
To run and play, dance and sing
With not a worry about anything
Oh to be young once more
Before middle age crept in the door
Before the pull of gravity
Made these wrinkles on my knee
Oh, to be young and in my prime
Happy-go-lucky all of the time
All my dreams were ahead of me
Knowing just what I wanted to be
Oh, to be young an physically fit
Doing things just for the fun of it
Crazy and wild and taking risks
Before I had herniated disks
Oh, to be young and so smart
No worries about a broken heart
Thinking life would always be
The way it was for you and me
Oh, to be young and free
I would not go back, you see
Unless I knew what I know now
Mistakes I made, I'd fix somehow
