You say that you're leaving, that your hands are only dust
And the boy loves you, oh, he loves you so much
Will you trust me like you did when we were young?
When we were young
You say that you're wilting but I don't see it at all
You're a thousand things, you can fly with one wing
Who will brace me from my painful, sudden fall
When we were young I never had to worry
I never even cared ‘cause something always came my way
When we were young I never was repeating
The sentiment again and again
Oh, something's gotta come my way
Oh, it won't be easy as you reach your final end
When our days are spent and I watch you transcend
Will you watch me with our loved ones in the sky
When we were young I never had to worry
When we were young, when we were young
When we were young I never had to worry
I never even cared ‘cause something always came my way
When we were young I never had to carry
These fears I have today
You take me when I close my eyes
