Song Description

Old love let go a long time ago. Ooops.

Lyrics

Young © 2012 Ken Kahn

There was a song I meant to write when we were lovers long ago
There were some words I couldn't find, when I was just too young to know.
And there are feelings and at times they ache just like a phantom limb
Across a gulf of space and time I find this long lost lover's hymn.

Young and maybe in love, foolish, and without fears
Set it free if you love it, they said, then kick yourself for years.

Sometimes I think that I can hear all of the things you ever said -
Those weekends full of pouring rain when we barely left the bed.
Where were the simple, honest words I could have held upon my tongue?
What were the notes that might have sounded sweet while you were in my arms?

Young and maybe in love, foolish, and without fears
Set it free if you love it, they said, then kick yourself for years.

Then time, like a lazy river, carried you round the bend.
Things happen for a reason, they said, but to me, that made no sense.

There was a song I couldn't write when we were lovers years ago
There were some words just out of reach, and I was just too young to know.
And in that moment we were bound together by unspoken vows.
It was the best, the best of times. At least that's how I see it now.
