Well, I remember when I was young, the world had just begun and I was happy, hey
I used to wonder about the Earth and how it moved around the sun so snappy
Imagination going wild makes a very backward child, that's what they told me
So back at school, I'd sit around, waiting for the sound so I could go on home
My Mummy, she was cool
Sometimes I think about it
You know it happens every day
Should think of the present
'Cause the present's now
I remember when I was young, I had a secret love who never knew it
And I'd do tricks upon my bike, they'd never turn out right, I always blew it
The day we had to part, I had a broken heart, but I just couldn't let on
So I spent my holidays thinking about the ways I must've gone wrong
Sometimes I think about it
You know it happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present's now
I remember when I was young, how one and threepence got you to the movies
To look tough, we'd light a smoke and very nearly choke, but we had a real good time
Growing old, it means you get to fly a Sabre jet, maybe fight a few wars
So, I just sit there all day and let my mind decay something awful
Sometimes I think about it
You know it happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present's now, come on
Well, I remember when I was young, The Beatles turned me on, they really blew my mind
And with Gary, Jack and Pam, we'd go and watch a band and have a real good time
Then I heard the black man's blues, they really blew a fuse inside my head
So, with some friends, we made a stand, formed our first blues band, it was a real good thing
Sometimes I think about it
You know it happens every day
Should think of the present
'Cause the present's now
I remember when I was young, I remember when I was young, I surely do
Well, I remember when I was young, I remember when I was young, I hope you all do too
Well, I remember, I remember, I remember when I was young
Well, I remember when I was young, I remember when I was young, I surely do
I remember when I was young, I remember when I was young, I hope you all do too
I remember when I was young, I remember when I was young, I surely do
I remember when I was young, I remember when I was young, I hope you all do too
I remember
Well, I re-, yes I re- (remember)
When I was young
I remember one thing, yeah, hey-hey-hey
Thank you all very much
