[Verse]
1. I returned to my home town yesterday
and my life before my eyes came flashing back
Everything was changed and the faces look so strange
sometimes I wish that I was young again
[Chorus]
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short romances
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
[Verse]
2. Then we drove to an old beach last night
a place we used to go not long ago
Walking barefoot in the sand
I saw to people holding hands
Falling in love for their first time
[Chorus]
3. Now I m older I guess a little wiser
experience is added to my name
But I can t help but feel that I traded apart I am along the way
CHORUS twice
