I can recall a happy time br A happy time for me and you br The joys we shared br The sorrows, too br When we were young br br I can recall the happy times br The happy times of every day br The made up tales br The scoldings, too br When we were young br br I can recall each happy hour br Each happy hour of every day br When bed sheets formed our new abode br Then crumbled to rest our weary bones br The dreams we had br The nightmares, too br When we were young br br I can recall the fights we had br The fights we had almost every day br The borrowed clothes br The giving, too br When we were young br br I can recall the happiest time br On the most sacred of days br When we opened our eyes in the early morn br As the sun lay its warmth on a blanket of snow br And the Christmas tree br And the presents, too br When we were young br br I can recall a tale you told br Of a new found love on an autumn day br As you walked on home - not a word to say br To a football star br To a boy in love br When we were young br br And I can recall a misty sky br On a summers day near the end of July br Given the honor to stand by your side br I was dressed in pink - you were dressed in white br As you gave your vow to a football star br To a man in love br To the one you love br What a precious gift is God's gift of love br It will keep us young br br For my sister Diane on her wedding day.
