Lyrics
Only The Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Heartaches, bitter tears that blind you as they fall
Heartaches, no one there to hear you when you call
And only the young, the young in love can really know.
Bad news, broken heart each time you see her face
Bad news, tender lips that no one can replace
And only the young, the young in love can really know
Only the young, the young in love can really know.
Love that comes for the first time is sweeter than rain
Love that hurts the fist time will rack you with pain
And only the young, the young in love can really know.
Whoa whoa, some day, I'll get used to knowin' we're apart
Hmm, some day, I can hide this ache within my heart
And only the young, the young in love can really know
Only the young, the young in love can really know.
And only the young, the young in love can really know...
