When You Were Young lyrics

I have noticed a change

in the things you say and do.

So don't worry, my dear,

time won't stop my love for you.

You sit gazing at the mirror,

disbelieving all you see.

Your friends say that you look lovely,

yet somehow you disagree.

When you were young,

nobody had the patience,

nobody had the time.

It's so hard growing old

in a world where youth is king.

Yes, you're scared and alone,

so to me you start to cling.

But it's just a new adventure,

like the hunter stalks his prey.

So don't worry, pretty darling,

I love you beyond today.

When you were young,

nobody had the patience,

nobody had the time.

When you were young,

nobody had the patience, no, no,

nobody had the time.

I think you know what I mean.

When you were young,

nobody had the patience,

nobody had the time,

nobody had the time,

nobody had the time,

nobody had the time, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Nobody had the time,

nobody had the time, yeah,

nobody had the time, hey.
