When You Are Young Lyrics - Deacon Blue

When you were young and your heart was free 

I'd run and meet you and rush to see 

Just over the wall where the clouds roll by 

And age and chance and tears were far away 

Oh if heaven wouldn't see 

Light lovers so distantly 

Then look today at this love so free 

When you are young again 

When you were young and your eyes are old 

Then all your treasures my hand can stroke 

And all your memories and your sorrows are loosed 

And blown and left so your lips may be touched 

Oh if heaven wouldn't see 

Light lovers so distantly 

Then look today at this love so free 

When you are young again
