You shine like a star
You know who you are
You're everything beautiful
She's hot, hot like the sun
The loneliest one
Still everything beautiful
Well I'll be god damned
You're standing at my door
We stayed up in the city
Until the stars lost the war
So Friday night, holy ghost
Take me to your level
Show me the one I need the most
I need the most
I wish I knew you when I was young
We could've got so high
Now we're here it's been so long
Two strangers in the bright lights
Oh I hope you don't mind
We can share my mood yeah
Two strangers in the bright lights
I wish I knew you
I wish I knew you
Oh I wish I knew you when I was young
Truth, it's all that you need
You bury that seed
It's everything beautiful
And that sound comes from the underground
It's all inside you now
It's everything beautiful
But what you, what you, what you, what you running from?
And they got, they got, they got, they got you on the run?
So Friday night
Holy ghost
Take me to your level
Show me the one I need the most
I need the most
I wish I knew you when I was young
We could've got so high
Now we're here it's been so long
Two strangers in the bright lights
Oh and I hope you don't mind
We can share my mood, yeah
Two strangers in the bright lights
I wish I knew you
I wish I knew you
Oh I wish I knew you when I was young
Maybe we can share my mood
Hmm hmm hmm
Maybe we can share my mood
Hmm hmm hmm
Maybe we can share my mood
Hmm hmm hmm
I wish I knew you when I was young
We could've got so high
Now we're here it's been so long
Two strangers in the bright lights
Oh and I hope you don't mind
We can share my mood, yeah
Two strangers in the bright lights
I wish I knew you
I wish I knew you
Oh I wish I knew you when I was young

My daughter and I sang this song whenever it came on in the truck on the way to school or just driving- she ended it a couple of times with "Mom, I wish I knew you when you were young . . . you seem fun". I lost her last March at the age of 20. Just a song I will always cherish!

I’m in long term care. I take care of old people who were once young. I see their old pictures and hear their incredible life stories and wish I knew them when THEY were young. Such amazing people. Truly.

My husband and I used to sing this song together. I lost him him Oct of 2022. He was only 30. Never thought I would be a widowed so young. We were together for 10 wonderful years 😘
-
My best friend is in her 60’s and I’m 24. I wish I knew her when she was young. She is so much fun ❤️

This song is the perfect definition of right person wrong time
-
This is one of those songs you don't realize how much you like until it randomly gets stuck in your head and starts to narrate your life.
-
“I wish I knew you when I was young” This line hits me so hard. It’s like The feeling of things you wish you had done when you had the chance.
-
My husband and I dated for about 2 mos as teens...30 yrs later reconnected via fb....2 yrs later got married...been 11 yrs now. This song just hits home
-
I didn't know my wife when we were young. We met in our 40's. We're pushing our 60's now. It's been fucking great. Can't wait for the rest of it!!!
-
This song/video was published the day I lost my father. A person who I only got to know in his later years. Song means a ton to me, thank you!
-
Love the 70s grooves!! Yall should listen to Romanticism by Retrofile ... has these disco vibes 🔥
-
This song makes you wish you could turn back the hands of time and just relive the life you've already lived.
-
This is literally me and my beautiful wife. We met when we were 17 and I didn't have the courage to ask her out. 20 years later I found her again and didn't hesitate. Now we have a wonderful daughter and the rest of our lives to share the 20 years we missed apart.
-
I don't know why but this song gives me a sense of happy sadness If that makes any sense?
-
I dedicate this amazing song to my husband, my second husband of 19 years so far. We met online in 2003 when 43 years old. I left my country to marry him in Texas, got my Masters degree there 🎉He’s German and I am Latina. Now we live in Europe at 63/65 y/o. He’s retired and I still work virtually ❤❤❤

For Samantha wherever you are... I still think about you.
-
I love this song, but the best part of playing it on YouTube is reading the comments. All these beautiful stories!
-
Somebody better go find me some toast, 'cause this is my fuckin' JAM!
-
The fact that the singer said it’s open for anyone’s interpretation is awesome. Just started talking to my daughter that I never got to know for 20 years. It’s amazing!
-
the lyrics to this song is breathtakingly beautiful, i don't know what made me just want to come back to listen to it, but sometimes a song just calls out to you
