Harve Presnell, When I Was Young, 1965

From the album "New Echoes Of The Old West"; Harve Presnell is accompanied by Geoff Love and his Orchestra & The Lisa Grey Singers.
The song was co-written by Dave Guard (a founding member of "The Kingston Trio") and Jane Bowers, and was introduced by "The Kingston Trio" in 1960.

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 dream

But we were young and tossed away
Our precious love along the way
We parted strangers, thoughtless and free
And set our hearts to wander 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 looked like you
I'd hold her close if she'd agree
To love perhaps a boy who looked like me
