I Was Young Once Too Lyrics

	Written：Richard Leigh/Robert Byrne
	He raced that engine down the track 'round the tree on Christmas day
	I was so amazed my dad would play with trains
	I saw a sparkle in his eye, then I heard him say, come on son let's play, I
	was young once, too
	He washed that Buick faithfully, Lord he kept her clean
	I thought that machine meant more to him than me
	On the day I turned sixteen he threw me the keys
	Said I was young once, too, now she belongs to you
	He was such a young man then, I'm older than that now
	I hope I measure up to him, when the circle comes around
	I saw him in the attic sittin' cross legged on the floor
	With some old photographs, he point and laughed
	He said, that's me in that picture, I said, no son, that's your dad
	I was young once, too, and looked a lot like you
	I was young once, too, I was young once, too
	Merry Christmas son, I wish your grandpa were here
	He was young once, too, and looked like me and you
