When We Were Young Lyrics

Crying softly on to clean white pillow
Watch the clock as it slowly crawls around
Rolls around

Is she sleeping, no, is she dreaming?
Time it passes without that familiar touch
Familiar touch

Love has gone, tears are here, nothing left
Life has changed, remember when we were young
Were young

When we were young
When we were young
When we were young

She pours a coffee and looks in the mirror
Suddenly she's glad he can't see her face
Can't see her face

Youth, it passes while age is collected
Disapears from behind the wires without trace
Without trace

Love has gone, tears are here, nothing left
Life has changed, remember when we were young
Were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young

Da-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Da-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la-la
Da-la-la-la
Da-la-ah-ah

When we were young
When we were young
When we were young

Love has gone, tears are here, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Life has changed, remember when we were young
Were young

When we were young
When we were young
When we were young

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
