When We Were Young Lyrics – Lucy Schwartz

When We Were Young Text

---

When we were young

We were small but we didn’t know it

When you were hurt

You would smile so you didn’t show it

And I can’t believe you’re mine

Can’t believe you’re mine

When we were young

We were brave, we were wild warriors

And you liked to race

So we’d run to the distant shores

And I can’t believe you’re mine

Can’t believe you’re mine

When the night came we would both say goodbye and go

But now that I’m older I’m sleepless outside your door

So let me in

I can’t believe you’re mine

Now we are tall

We are wise

We are tired or growing

All of this time

You and I

How did we not know it

And I can’t believe you’re mine

Can’t believe you’re mine

Can’t believe you’re mine
