I can say I knew you well, as well as anybody could
 I can say I knew you when we were young
 & a long time ago, took your hand, pulled you close
 You pulled away & blamed the cold & the time

 If I was young I would go back 
 & pick you up against your will 
 Take you with me everywhere that I go
 If I had you I d give money & all the love that you could hold
 & every morning we d go dancing
 If I had you I would be gold

 They say not to dwell on the things that we can t have
 & to leave what s been done in the past
 But the [bad word] in 
 & some get left behind
 But the sun won t go away just  cause you ask

 If I was young I would go back 
 & pick you up against your will 
 Take you with me everywhere that I go
 If I had you I d give money & all the love that you could hold
 & every morning we d go dancing
 If I had you I would be gold
 If I had you I would be gold

 Still sometimes late at night
 In my dreams, I ll drift away
 To the place I left alone for so many years
 & there you are, just like before
 & here I am just like today
 As I wake up, I ll watch you disappear

 If I was young I would go back 
 & pick you up against your will 
 Take you with me everywhere that I go
 If I had you I d give money & all the love that you could hold
 & every morning we d go dancing
 If I had you I would be gold
 If I had you I would be gold
