Christine Ann Young - When We Were Young

I can recall a happy time A happy time for me and you The joys we shared The sorrows, too When we were young I can recall the happy times The happy times of every day The made up tales The scoldings, too When we were young I can recall each happy hour Each happy hour of every day When bed sheets formed our new abode Then crumbled to rest our weary bones The dreams we had The nightmares, too When we were young I can recall the fights we had The fights we had almost every day The borrowed clothes The giving, too When we were young I can recall the happiest time On the most sacred of days When we opened our eyes in the early morn As the sun lay its warmth on a blanket of snow And the Christmas tree And the presents, too When we were young I can recall a tale you told Of a new found love on an autumn day As you walked on home - not a word to say To a football star To a boy in love When we were young And I can recall a misty sky On a summers day near the end of July Given the honor to stand by your side I was dressed in pink - you were dressed in white As you gave your vow to a football star To a man in love To the one you love What a precious gift is God's gift of love It will keep us young For my sister Diane on her wedding day.
