Harry Connick, Jr.
Never Young
[Verse 1]
I wish you could have lived my life
No way to know the fun I had
I ride in limousines but it means nothing
I roll down the tinted glass to see outside
I like to see how much I pass on my roller coaster ride
[Refrain]
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
I wish you could have been right there
My future was the end of time
And all the girls I needed never knew me
I've fallen deep inside my well without a pail
And if you come to rescue me I'll tell my fairy tale
[Refrain]
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
Oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
What curtains fall on childhood stages
That never rise to show the crowd
Things I drag throughout the ages
Never seem to speak out loud, yeah
[Verse 3]
I wish that you were here right now
I guess I passed my chance away
A pallid gray is mostly what I see now
I live my life and never stop to close the doors
And all the time I never thought of living yours
[Refrain]
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
Oh, oh, oh
[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
What curtains fall on childhood stages
That never rise to show the crowd
Things I drag throughout the ages
Never seem to speak out loud, yeah
[Verse 3]
I wish that you were here right now
I guess I passed my chance away
A pallid gray is mostly what I see now
Oh, I live my life and never stop to close the doors
And all the time I never thought of living yours
[Refrain]
It's hard to remember
Hard to remember
Hard to remember
Seems I was never young
Oh, oh, oh
