16 Dec 02 - 12:04 PM (#848208) Subject: When I Was Young... From: GUEST,CLS I used to hear a song that I can only label as "When I Was Young" (when I was young in the mid-sixties). The follow on lyric was,"...and dreams were new, I loved a girl who looked like you." And it went on from there. Does anyone know the real title, who wrote it, and what the rest of the lyrics are? Now that I'm old(er), I find my wife likes to hear these kinds of songs. And I'd be happy to oblige her on this one, but the old memory banks aren't what they used to be! Any/all help most appreciated. |

When I was young and dreams were new I loved a girl who looked like you. I held her close and she agreed to love, perhaps, a boy who looked like me. ...and the last verse is something like But looking back somehow I see how seldom love has come to me. And I confess that now and then I dream of her remembering when When I was young and dreams were new...etc. I'll find the rest now that you've gotten it stuck in my head. Thanks a lot :) Tim |

I saw her face in mountains stream. I lingered there and lost myself in dreams. But we were young and tossed away our precious love along the way. We parted strangers, thoughtless and free and set our hearts to wandering aimlessly. But looking back, somehow I see how seldom love has come to me. And I confess that now and then I think of her remembering when If I were young and dreams were new, I love a girl who looked like you. I'd hold her close if she'd agree to love perhaps a boy who looked like me. Oooooo--- (From HERE) ~Masato |

16 Dec 02 - 12:49 PM (#848244) Subject: RE: When I Was Young... From: GUEST,CLS Again Wow!! You guys don't mess around! Thanks for the quick response TIA/Tim and Masato. Yes indeed...the memories came flooding back as soon as I saw the rest of the song (I thought it had a Chad Mitchell or Kingston Trio sound to it). This Mudcat's a great site and has quickly gone to the favorites list. Thanks much. CLS |
