I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

When your college senior son calls you and you can’t remember what you talked about…only that he called at 7:30 before beginning his day.

This song is a favorite. Heard it the first time on my way home from school in my very early 20s. I remember exactly where I was. I played it over and over walking/dancing in the snow.
I thought I knew it all! Im closer to 50 now. And do I wish I knew what I know now when I was younger. “No!”
