Lyrics
I was a war child growing up in a small town.
Not a lot to do but play football all the time.
I had to work when I was so young,
To help my dad and to help my mum.
Bring me back to when I was young
and make fun.
To show them there's peace and love.
Bring me back to when I was young
and make fun.
To show them there's peace and love.
My dad was in darkness,
My mum was in light.
But when they came together,
They danced all night.
It wasn't about the money,
It was all about fun,
With the family,
Including me as the son.
Bring me back to when I was young
and make fun.
To show them there's peace and love.
Bring me back to when I was young
and make fun.
To show them there's peace and love.
I had the best two weeks in Aberdeen,
'Til the emigration started
and my friends started to fleet.
They moved out to the sunshine,
I stayed here in the sleet.
These past memories.
These past memories.
Bring me back to when I was young
and make fun.
To show them there's peace and love.
Bring me back to when I was young
and make fun.
To show them there's peace and love.
