Richard Shindell - I Saw My Youth Today lyrics

Your rating:

I saw my youth today 
He passed me in the street 
As he walked by I stood frozen 
On my dreaming feet 
He had a kinder face 
The kind I've learned to hide 
Behind these cold unyielding stones 
That used to be my eyes 

A moment please my boy 
Don't you know my name? 
Do you remember when 
We used to play a hundred games? 
Is your mother well? 
Kiss her once for me 
And if she should ask you why 
Why you could say 
Just for no reason 

Remember that old troll 
That lived inside the tree? 
He was never dangerous 
That's just the way it seemed 
The day you climbed the tree 
And ran to show me how 
The troll was never seen again 
So where could be be now? 

A moment please my boy 
Don't you know this face? 
Do you remember when 
I used to let you win the races? 
Please don't run away 
I did not mean to scare you 
I'm the one who taught you 
You should never talk to strangers 
Is your mother well? 
Kiss her once for me 
And if she should ask you why 
Why you could say 
Just for no reason
