When,
when we were young
We used to climb up in the orange tree
You would look around
And tell me all that you could see
You'd be tall and strong
You'd bang your drum
And tell me how
you'd go to war And all around the sound of laughter
When,
when we were young
We used to climb up in the orange tree
You
would look around
And tell me all that you could see
And now the garden
It seems so small compared to yesterday
The years have flown Our dreams have gone
And the oranges,
they are still growing When,
when we were young We used to climb up in the orange tree
You would look around
And tell me all that you could see
You'd be tall and strong
You'd bang your drum
And tell me how you'd go to war
And all around the sound of laughter
And me,
I'd have a house Whose shadow fell tumbling across the water
And all around would be the sound of
falling leaves
and laughter
