I Know What It is To Be Young by Orson Welles

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...
let’s 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..
Let’s 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
