[A]I was never young, even as a [C]child
Said [A]I was never young
I've always felt be[C]guiled
Oh, [D]I just never [A]smiled
Bbaug Bm
But you have a glow
From an [Dnaj7]inner sense I'll never [G]know
Because I was never young, even as a boy

Kindness seemed no ploy to temper or annoy
But you, you have a mind
Full of wonderment I'll never find
Because I was never young
