I can say I knew you well, as well as anybody could I can say I knew you when we were young & a long time ago, took your hand, pulled you close You pulled away & blamed the cold & the time
If I was young I would go back & pick you up against your will Take you with me everywhere that I go If I had you I d give money & all the love that you could hold & every morning we d go dancing If I had you I would be gold
They say not to dwell on the things that we can t have & to leave what s been done in the past But the memories come in & some get left behind But the sun won t go away just cause you ask
If I was young I would go back & pick you up against your will Take you with me everywhere that I go If I had you I d give money & all the love that you could hold & every morning we d go dancing If I had you I would be gold If I had you I would be gold
Still sometimes late at night In my dreams, I ll drift away To the place I left alone for so many years & there you are, just like before & here I am just like today As I wake up, I ll watch you disappear
If I was young I would go back & pick you up against your will Take you with me everywhere that I go If I had you I d give money & all the love that you could hold & every morning we d go dancing If I had you I would be gold If I had you I would be gold
