When Love Was Young

Iris DeMent

Transposer:

Look at you look at me. My heart breaks as I read our sad story. Never thought that I'd be Here with you wishing I was free. I never dreamed today would come When I was young. There was nothing I would not do For the chance to see your face. How could I have known back then That today I'd hesitate. When you hold me in your arms I don't yearn for that charm. I never dreamed today would come When love was young. Look at how our curtain fell. Guess it's true only time can tell 'bout an ending. Kids are grown we've had our day. Guess it's time now to go away. I never dreamed today would come When love was young. There was nothing I would not do For the chance to see your face. How could I have known back then That today I'd hesitate. When you hold me in your arms I don't yearn for that charm. I never dreamed today would come When love was young. I never dreamed today would come When love was y -o-u-n-g. Ooh ooh.

La chanson évoque un regard nostalgique sur un amour passé, marqué par la tristesse et les regrets. L'artiste se remémore une époque où l'amour semblait inébranlable, où tout semblait possible. En vieillissant, elle réalise que cette passion a changé, donnant lieu à des hésitations et à une certaine mélancolie. Dans un cadre où les enfants ont grandi et où le temps a scellé leur destin, elle doit faire face à la réalité d'une relation qui n'est plus celle d'autrefois, et le besoin de tourner la page devient inévitable.
