C          G7                    C
When I was young and dreams were new,
          F                    G
I loved a girl who looked like you.
          C                 F
I saw her face in mountains stream.
  C                  G7             C
I lingered there and lost myself in dreams.

[Verse]
C           G7                C
But we were young and tossed away
             F              G
Our precious love along the way.
          C                          F
We parted strangers, thoughtless and free
    C                 G7               C
And set our hearts to wandering aimlessly.

[Chorus]
            F               C         
But looking back, somehow I see
           G7               C
How seldom love has come to me.
         F                 C
And I confess that now and then
           G7              C
I think of her remembering when

[Verse]
          G7                    C
If I were young and dreams were new,
           F                    G
I'd love a girl who looked like you.
             C                F
I'd hold her close if she'd agree
   C              G7                  C
To love perhaps a boy who looked like me.
