I was something once
All bright and new
Now I feel my age and it's old
There was something nice
In the sweet moonlight
Now I pull on my sweater, I'm cold

When my eyes were brightly shining
With the laughter and the crying
No, I don't remember trying
We just went the way we go

There was someone once
He was good and true
He's been gone for a long time now
I remember him
I remember you
I remember the why's and how

When my legs were strong and sturdy
And I walked the hills and journeyed
Standing pints and rising early
To milk the jersey cow

That was long ago
Only one who knows
What it was back then is me
Even I don't know
It's like a movie show
There inside my memories

When I'd meet you bright and shining
Between laughter and crying
Sure, I don't remember trying
We just went the way we go

Sure, I was something once
All bright and new
