To Be Nineteen Again


Ah, what it would be like to be nineteen and in love again

to be carefree with no worries at all

letting our hair grow long as we stood proud and tall

running around in the Summertime

there were no bargains.
*
It was all about them

and not about us

that was the way they wanted it

but my dear we still defied them

against all odds

we didn't care.
*
Ah, what it would be like to be nineteen and in love again

I only wish I could turn back time

but I know that would not be possible

sometimes though, I wish it were

because I would be happy to be nineteen and in love with you, again.
