My favorite song by Jane Bowers
She was still alive back when I 1st learned
this song from the Kingston Trio.
I didn’t know, back then, that I could have met her.
WHEN I WAS YOUNG by Jane Bowers
When I was young and dreams were new,
I loved a girl who looked like you.
I saw her face in mountains stream.
I lingered there and lost myself in dreams.
But we were young and tossed away
Our precious love along the way.
We parted strangers, thoughtless and free
And set our hearts to wandering aimlessly.
But looking back, somehow I see
How seldom love has come to me.
And I confess that now and then
I think of her remembering when
If I were young and dreams were new,
I’d love a girl who looks like you.
I’d hold her close if she’d agree
To love perhaps a boy who looked like me.

Damn, Jimmy... funny how after almost 40 years of listening to JMT music, hearing a new song of yours can still make me cry. Good song, old friend, good song. JQM

Very Pretty. I think you have one of those "soft centers" that you always hear about the tough talkers showing occasionally.
