Back When We Were Young

(c)1982 Lee Westerso All Rights Reserved

Back when we were young
Gettin' heartbroke never meant a thing
Every song we sung
Chased away the heartaches night would bring

Memories are comin' one by one
Years have passed, tomorrow has begun
All the games we played were just for fun
Back when we were young

Now I've been around
Seen a thing or two to make me smile
Other things, I've found,
Make it hard to think once in awhile

Love this one so much, Lee. Darn... it didn't seem then like we would ever NOT be young. Course, I'm WAY older anyway. I give this one five and more.

Are you a 59'er too?

We might be getting up there in years... BUT... we're still so very young at heart!

Lee what a BEAUTIFUL song! You are 100% genuine!

Thank you, darlin' ~so sweet! 9/24/59 I remember it well. I was kinda pink,if I recall.Donna, yer so cool!Thank you for listenin' to my ol' HYDE.When I wrote this (you & I were 25),some friends of mine hadn't even thought about some critical future decisions, BAD ones.Hence the rather dark words I said at the front of this ditty.Rather than edit it out,I want to let folks know there really is some sunshine, you can't see it sometimes cuz your eyes are closed to the light of true friends.

Thanks, Jane so much. This one is one of my my older ones, and I think my better vocals, I wish folks would dig deeper like you have! I appreciate the listen, Dear!

Your friend and fan,
