Watching you move away, I picked up a guitar, started to strum.
Well, I could never find the words to say, you were older and I was young.
Time has a funny way, it seems of making, things, come back around.
As I sit here, looking out from this stage, I see you’re back in town
CHORUS
I could never reach you; although I wanted to
You were older and I was young
I could never hold you; the way I wanted to
That’s why I had to write this song.
The scene has changed now, I get around some,
in the town you called home
Seems that you, and I’ve changed too,
I’ve grown older; you’ve seem to grow young
Picked up this old guitar, strum the chords and the music starts to flow.
Send my eyes across the room through the crowd,
they catch yours; here it goes
CHORUS
But I could never reach you; although I wanted to
You were older and I was young
I could never hold you; the way I wanted to
That’s why I had to write this song.
Never got to love you; This is my chance too
You were older and now you seem so young
I’m gonna be with you; Like I wanted to
Just like I wrote in this song
Like I wrote in this song
