1.
When I was so young and skies were so blue
When the air was fresh and full of something new
   I looked around with open eyes
   and never wondered what would be with me 
what would be, what would be, what would be.

2.
Now it seems that all is gone and gone for good
I know you must have felt the same -  it's understood
   So many years passing by
   I keep forgetting whom I once have been, 
I have been, I have been, I have been. (oh no-oh, oh)

A-a-a ah ...

3. 
Now somehow I feel so callous, it's so bad
Where that open, genial smile that I had
   It looks that I'm a different man 
   and only tired eyes remind that boy
oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.  (oh no-oh!)

        
April 30, 1996. Edmonton (the weather was so good, and I went with a
guitar to the river valley to calibrate my friend's birthday)

Chords:


The story June 1996. Blue-Blue sky of one of the first warm days of Edmonton summer.
The entire song (incuding all three verses) was born, as I'm walking - With guitar in my hands - from my residence
to the picnic organized for a birthday party of my friend (V.A, who invited me and ask to bring bring the guitar)
in one of Edmonton's parks along N. Saskatchewan river.
