lyrics

When I Was Old
(lyrics by Anne Aubourg, music by Nicolette Aubourg © 1999)

Long ago, when I was old, -
was it just some days ago,
you took me where the grass is greener,
out of my mind, into your dream.

Long ago, when I was old, - was it just some days ago?
Long ago, when I was old, - was it just some days ago?

You brushed away my inhibitions,
laughed about my imperfections.
You took me where the grass is greener,
out of my mind, into your heart.

Long ago, when I was old, - was it just some days ago?
Long ago, when I was old, - was it just some days ago?

You threw away my broken dreams,
empty voices, futile choices.
You took me where the grass is greener,
out of my mind, into your life.

Long ago, when I was old, - was it just some days ago?
Long ago, when I was old, - was it just some days ago?
Long ago, when I was old, - was it just some days ago, -
long ago…
