I Was Young Once Too Lyrics - Singles - Christmas Songs 2

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
