When Love Was Young
[Intro]
Look at you, look at me
My heart breaks, as I read our sad story
[Verse 1]
Never thought that I'd be
Here with you wishing I was free
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young
[Chorus]
There was nothing I would not do
For the chance to see your face
How could I have known back then
That today I'd hesitate
When you hold me in your arms
I don't yearn for that charm
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young
[Verse 2]
Look at how our curtain fell
Guess it's true only time can tell
About an ending
Kids are grown, we've had our day
Guess it's time now to go away
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young, ooh, ooh
