When I was young I lived like I would never die I didn't care as all the years went passing by The days seemed endless to me turning one by one When I was young I rarely thought about the future or the cost Of what it meant for all the time that I had lost With each new day it seemed like life had just begun When I was young Life slips past us in the blink of an eye We just barely have time to ask why There was so much more that I could have done When I was young With just a breath the decades swiftly passed me by With no concern to ever think or wonder why Nothing seemed as though it couldn't be undone When I was young I looked at life as though there wasn't any need To treat it as the precious gift I had received Many drinks I drank and many songs I sung When I was young
