I Know What It Is to Be Young (But You Don't Know What It Is to Be Old)

When we are young age has no meaning I never gave it a second thought Until one day along came this old man And this is what he said to me And this is what he said to me I know what it is to be young But you, you don't know what it is to be old Someday, you'll be saying the same thing Time takes away so the story is told I've asked so many questions To the wise men i've met Couldn't find all the answers No one has as yet. There'll be days to remember Full of laughter and tears After summer, comes winter and so go the years So my friend. Lets make music together I'll play the old while you sing me the new In time when your young days are over There'll be some one sharing their time with you I know what it is to be young But you, you don't know what it is to be old So my friend. Lets make music together I'll play the old while you sing me the new In time when your young days are over There'll be some one sharing their time with you There'll be some one sharing their time with you
