Savoy Brown - When I Was a Young Boy Lyrics

when i was a young boy

advice i would scorn

now i'm gettin' a little older

i know i got a lot to learn



yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles

i'll look back and laugh

baby, sometimes, in a while



(repeat twice)



and it always seems the same

and who knows what to blame

if i knew then what i know now

the mistakes i wouldn't have made...

but you can't get a sneak preview

over what you're gonna go through

and you have to rely on your body and mind

to see the light from shade



life's the same, but time does change

perspective of your view

you're lookin' for a mystery

but you can't find a clue



some say a man makes his life

some say that it's fate

but when you find out what to do

ohhh, sometimes it's too late...
