Billy Raffoul
When We Were Young
[Verse 1: Billy Raffoul]
It's cold outside, you feel just like you might turn to stone
Oh, Canada, how I love her, the only home I’ve ever known
From the west side to PEI to all that lies between
This country cried, too many lives taken tragically
[Pre-Chorus: Billy Raffoul]
Oh, how my grip's loosening
All the things she rushed to see
I doubt it's worth mentioning
We were wrong when we were young
[Chorus: Matthew Thiessen]
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young?
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young?
[Verse 2: Billy Raffoul]
Saw your face, the strangest place we swore we’d never go
But now we're here, what say you dear?
I won't tell if you won't
But your mannequin stare and your jet-black hair still makes me feel like home
Want so badly you to ask me if I came alone
[Pre-Chorus: Billy Raffoul]
Oh, how my grip's loosening
On all the things not meant to be
I doubt it's worth mentioning
Been so long since we were young
[Chorus: Matthew Thiessen & Billy Raffoul]
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young?
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young?
We were young
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young? (Hmm)
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young?
[Bridge: Billy Raffoul]
I used to say that you could change
If you would only try
But today I made the same mistake
Now I can sympathize
Oh, how my grip's loosening
On all the things worth promising
But I hope you remember me as I was
[Chorus: Matthew Thiessen & Billy Raffoul]
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young?
When we were young
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young? (Hmm)
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young?
When we were young
Do you, do you, ooh, do you remember when we were young?
