When Oh When
Vicky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When all lights are out and there's nothing left to see
When curtain is down all you have to is leave

When we grow old
Will you stay here beside me
And be in love
Simple things will make us happy
No need to worry
Let's hold each other tight
When we grow old
When we grow old

Here we are now (here we are now)
Things aren't so easy and carefree (not so easy or carefree)
We're still in love (we're still in love)
Though there are times we're not happy (sometimes we're not happy)

More things to worry
But we're still holding hands
Here we are now
Here we are now

When the lights are out and there's nothing left to see
Before we say goodbye
Remember to take a bow

When we were young
We were so easy and carefree
We were in love
So many things made us happy

Nothing to worry
As long as we're holding hands




When we were young
When we were young
