When I Was Young

	  		
Verse 
C          G7                    C 
When I was young and dreams were new, 
          F                    G 
I loved a girl who looked like you. 
          C                 F 
I saw her face in mountains stream. 
  C                  G7             C 
I lingered there and lost myself in dreams. 

Verse 
C           G7                C 
But we were young and tossed away 
             F              G 
Our precious love along the way. 
          C                          F 
We parted strangers, thoughtless and free 
    C                 G7               C 
And set our hearts to wandering aimlessly. 

            F               C          
But looking back, somehow I see 
           G7               C 
How seldom love has come to me. 
         F                 C 
And I confess that now and then 
           G7              C 
I think of her remembering when 


Verse 
          G7                    C 
If I were young and dreams were new, 
           F                    G 
I'd love a girl who looked like you. 
             C                F 
I'd hold her close if she'd agree 
   C              G7                  C 
To love perhaps a boy who looked like me.
