Glenn Kaiser - In My Younger Days Lyrics

Lord, it?s cold outside tonight
How I wish, Lord, the light should come
So cold outside,

In my younger days,
I almost lost my mind
In the summer of my days, swallowed anything I?d find
If I knew then what I know now,
I would have left it all behind

Lord, I drank myself to sleep,
and you know I woke up cryin?
I drugged myself to sleep,
how I used to wake up cryin?
Only one thing that I?m sure of?
only grace kept me from dyin?
In my younger days

People looked at me
like I was in my prime
Didn?t know fact from fiction,
not a dollar from a dime
In my younger days
In my younger days

Like a bolt of lightnin?
through my windowpane
I saw the writin? on my wall,
and there I saw my name
In my younger days,
I finally hit the ground
I saw the door to paradise, and how I cried out loud
In my younger days
In my younger days
I met love?and it moved me
Gone from lost to bein? found
