  • When I was younger
    Living confusion and deep despair
    When I was younger
    Living illusion of freedom and power

    When I was younger
    Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
    When I was younger ah hah
    Everything simple but not so clear

    Living on borrowed time
    Without a thought for tomorrow
    Living on borrowed time
    Without a thought for tomorrow

    Now I am older
    The more that I see the less that I know for sure
    Now I am older
    The future is brighter and now is the hour

    Living on borrowed time
    Without a thought for tomorrow
    Living on borrowed time
    Without a thought for tomorrow

    Good to be older
    Would not exchange a single day or a year
    Good to be older
    Less complications everything clear

    Living on borrowed time
    Without a thought for tomorrow
    Living on borrowed time
    Without a thought for tomorrow Writer/s: JOHN LENNON, JOHN WINSTON LENNON

  • Jim from Selinsgrove PaJulia,
    John & Yoko's holiday to Bermuda was earlier in the year, May or June I believe. He wasn't taken from us until December of that year. On the "John Lennon Anthology" (released 1998) there is an acoustic version that the sleeve says was quickly recorded June 22, '80 while they were in Bermuda.
  • Julia from Milton, PaHow?!?!? He, sadly, died in 1980.
