I want to be young again

the exciting days are over

there are no more songs to sing

it's so sad to admit it

but old age changes everything

back when I used to be hopeful

back when I used to have pride

nothing has changed for the better

everything's weak inside

          remind me of who I used to be

          when I was free as the wind

          let me continue to be me

          I want to be young again

I remember drinking whiskey

I remember your hand in mine

we took everything for granted

we thought we'd have endless time

now time is almost finished

never to ever return

now everything is diminished

everything's already been learned

          remind me of who I used to be

          when I was free as the wind

          let me continue to be me

          I want to be young again

take me back to the old days

when life had just barely begun

back when the days were beginning

back when life was fun

I do not want to be here

when life takes its final steps

I still have a passion for living

life isn't through with me yet

          remind me of who I used to be

          when I was free as the wind

          let me continue to be me

          I want to be young again
