I can say I knew you well, as well as anybody could I can say I knew you when we were young And a long time ago, took your hand, pulled you close You pulled away and blamed the cold and the time If I was young I would go back And pick you up against your will Take you with me everywhere that I go If I had you I'd give money And all the love that you could hold And 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 And to leave what's been done in the past But the memories come in And some get left behind But the sun won't go away just 'cause you ask If I was young I would go back And pick you up against your will Take you with me everywhere that I go If I had you I'd give money And all the love that you could hold And 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 And there you are, just like before And here I am just like today As I wake up, I'll watch you off and disappear If I was young I would go back And pick you up against your will Take you with me everywhere that I go If I had you I'd give money And all the love that you could hold And every morning we'd go dancing If I had you I would be gold If I had you I would be gold
