WHEN I WAS YOUNG
(Bob Merrill)

Eddie Fisher - 1953 (re-recorded 1965)



When I was young, yes, very young
My heart just wouldn't fall
I didn't know whose lips to kiss
And so I kissed them all

I didn't know whose heart to keep 
And whose to throw away
And so I tried another heart
Another every day

But I'm a little older now 
And I'm a little wise
The love that I was loooking for
I find, dear, in your eyes
.
I'm glad I kissed the other lips
Before I kissed your own
'Cause I was young, so very young
I never would have known

But I'm a little older now 
And I'm a little wise
The love that I was loooking for
I find, dear, in your eyes
.
I'm glad I kissed the other lips
Before I kissed your own
'Cause I was young, so very young
I never would have known
