There was a time
There was a place
It was your name
It was your face Well, I was sixteen
I thought I knew the plan
You were my girl
And I was your man Late nights on the phone
Late nights in my car
Late nights chasing you
Wherever you were Maybe those were the days
And those were my nights
I've left them so far
So dim those lights And even when I dream at night
I cannot see your face
Well, I close my eyes and softly say
Those were my younger days Friday nights at the park
Pep rallies at schools
You cheering for me
Me playin' for you Sometimes I look back
But I really can't see
That girl that I loved
My young sweet Marie And even when I dream at night
I cannot see your face
Well, I close my eyes and softly say
Those were my younger days Yeah, even when I dream at night
I cannot see your face
Well, I close my eyes and softly say
Those were my younger days
Those were my younger days
