I have always wanted a son. Back When We Were Young is about how
life continues passing us by and a as it does, we tend to look back more
and more. Children have their whole future all ahead of them and they go
through the same stages of
life that we do, "just the way we have done."
I’ve always thought that having a son would be a wonderful way of seeing
yourself as he grows.

Your love, has lifted me,
D Asus4
Higher than the old oak trees,
D Asus4
That we would climb upon,
G Em7 A
Back in those good old days, when we had so much fun,
D Asus4
Back when we were young.
D Asus4
We would run we’d would run and run and play.
We’d sing and dance and laugh along the way.
Hide And Seek was the worry of the day.
Yes we’d go hiding from everyone, in the noon day sun,
Back when we were young.
Back when we were young.
And your love has given me,
Reasons to want to be,
By your side through eternity.
Yes your love did bring me all the way, to our wedding day,
Where we promised to be one.
Promised to be one.
Where we promised to be one.
Bm Am7 G Em7 Asus4 A7
Time and seasons, they’ll keep passing by us on the run.

And surely we have good reasons, to be loving life just the way it comes.
D Asus4
Now that we are one.

Now that we are one.

Now that we are one.
(Bridge, same as introduction)
Now our love, has given seed
A new life, a life for you and me.
And To us a miracle indeed
Yes Our love has brought us to this one, our bran new son.
We’ve been blessed now with a son
Blessed now with a son.
We’ve been blessed now with a son.
Time and seasons they’ll be passing him one by one.
But Surely he’ll have he’s reason, to looking back just the way we’ve done.
Back when he was young.
Back when he was young.
Just the way we’ve done.
Back when we were young.
Back when we were young.
Back when we were young.
