Sixteen For Awhile Lyrics

Celtic Connection Sixteen For Awhile

I returned to my hometown yesterday

and my life before my eyes came flashing back

Everything was changed and the faces look so strange

sometimes I wish that I was young again

CHORUS

And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times

I could be 16 years old for awhile

Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short
romances

Life was simple but it sure was good somehow

Then we drove to an old beach last night

a place we used to go not long ago

Walking barefoot in the sand

I saw to people holding hands

Falling in love for their first time


CHORUS

Now I'm older I guess a little wiser

experience is added to my name

But I can't help but feel that I traded apart who I am
along the way

CHORUS twice
