( Young love! . . . Young love! . .
Young love! . . . Young love! . . . )

They say for every boy an' girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one can take your place
Ever in my heart!

Young love, first love!
Filled with true devotion . .
Young love, our love!
We share, with deep, emotion . .

( Emotion! . . . Emotion! )

Oh, just one kiss from your sweet lips

Will tell me that your love is real
And I can feel, that it's true!
We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love . .
For you, or for me!
Young love, first love!
Filled with true devotion . .
Young love, our love!
We share, with deep, emotion . . . ( Emotion! )

( Young love! . .
Young love! . . . Young love! . . . )
