[Verse 1]
It wasn't long ago
When we were seventeen
It wasn't long ago
When ev’rything was green

[Verse 2]
The world was smiling then
When we were seventeen
At least we thought it was
When ev’rything was green

[Bridge]
Then suddenly we were older
And strange as it may seem
We're wondering if the green years
Have really been so green

[Verse 3]
For what is happening now
And with the things we've seen
Could we have been so young
When ev’rything was green?

[Outro]
Could wе have been so young
When ev’rything was green?
