Early Years (7" Version) Barry White

[Verse 1]
Yesterday we were so unafraid
But now we need some time to slip away
As we drift in our memories of all the joys and tears
Tasting vintage wine of early years

[Verse 2]
We sit and watch our life go passing by
And remember things we did, and wonder why
Looking through the misty cloud at days we had no fear
But that was long ago in early years

[Bridge]
Time has gone by, time from our lives
Those early years of time, gone by
Those early years, gone from our lives...
From our lives, from our lives, from our lives...
Well, well...

[Verse 3]
To appreciate your life, one has to know
Know the things it takes to keep your heart aglow
Keep your mind refreshed with thoughts of things we hold so near
Treasures from our lives in early years
