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.
Only the young feel that love is a dream from which they'll never
waken
Their world is an apple on a tree, just waiting to be shaken
Only the young don't care what tomorrow may bring
Today is a merry-go-round with a big brass ring
We both can't stay young as a morning in May
A warm and sunny green time
I'll hold you and love you every day
There'll be no in-between time
Though years may go by, we'll look at each other and see
The love lighting faces of only the young like you
You and me
Though years may go by, we'll look at each other and see
The love lighting faces of only the young
Like you and me
