Years and years ago in my youth 
Lennon told me, “love's all you need” 
And all these years I was looking for you 
Tell me, were you looking for me? 

Cause when we're alone together 
Time suddenly stops! 
I don't look at the clock, 
I don't think of the weather, 
I put away your telephone

I count the minutes when you're gone 
Whoa-oh, are you back yet? 
Minutes when you're gone 
Last so long 

I found a place where I belong 
Whoa-oh, saying heck, yeah! 
I no longer want to be alone

When we met, were you looking for love? 
‘Cause I wasn't, I must tell the truth 
But as I sat there, basking in your glow 
I knew I found my fountain of youth

Cause when we're alone together 
My heart skips a beat
Yeah, you're all that I need 
Like the rain in the desert, 
And I've been dry for way too long…

I count the minutes when you're gone 
Whoa-oh, are you back yet? 
Minutes when you're gone 
Last so long 

I found a place where I belong 
Whoa-oh, saying heck, yeah! 
I no longer want to be alone 

Fountain of youth

When I was a young boy, they asked me:
"What do you want to be?"
I told them I wanted to be a cowboy
So no one could mess with me

I told them I wanted to fall asleep
Under the open sky
And if anyone gave me some lip
I would look him straight in the eye
            Saying,

    Hey there, are you talking to me?
    Hey there, are you looking to die?
    Hey there, better get on your knees
    And pray for your life

    Hey there, are you talking to me?
    Hey there, are you looking to die?
    Hey there, when I count to three
    You will meet my Colt .45

When I was a young man, they asked me:
"What do you want to be?"
I told them I wanted to be a soldier
So no one could mess with me

I told them I wanted to fall asleep
To the sound of the mortar fire
And if anyone gave me some lip
I would look him straight in the eye
            Saying,

    Hey there, are you talking to me?
    Hey there, are you looking to die?
    Hey there, better get on your knees
    And beg for your life

    Hey there, are you talking to me?
    Hey there, are you looking to die?
    Hey there, when I count to three
    You will meet my Colt .45

Yesterday somebody asked me:
"What do you want to be?"
I told him I want to be happy
I said, "I hope I never have to kill"

I told him I wanted to fall asleep
Next to a beautiful girl
When I wake up, I will kiss her lips
And thank God that I never told
            Nobody

    Hey there, are you talking to me?
    Hey there, are you looking to die?
    Hey there, better get on your knees
    And beg for your life

    Hey there, are you talking to me?
    Hey there, are you looking to die?
    Hey there, when I count to three
    You will meet my Colt .45
