Savoy Brown - When I Was a Young Boy lyrics

When I was a young boy Advice I would scorn Now i'm gettin' a little older I know I got a lot to learn Yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles I'll look back and laugh Baby, sometimes, in a while Yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles I'll look back and laugh Baby, sometimes, in a while Yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles I'll look back and laugh Baby, sometimes, in a while And it always seems the same And who knows what to blame If I knew then what I know now The mistakes I wouldn't have made... But you can't get a sneak preview Over what you're gonna go through And you have to rely on your body and mind To see the light from shade Life's the same, but time does change Perspective of your view You're lookin' for a mystery But you can't find a clue Some say a man makes his life Some say that it's fate But when you find out what to do Ohhh, sometimes it's too late...
