Richard Rodgers
Hello, Young Lovers
1951 version
-------------------------------
Slow instrumental opening
Hello, young lovers, whoever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you
Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star
Be brave, an' faithful, an' true
Cling very close to each other tonight
I've been in love like you
I know how it feels
To have wings on your heels
And to fly down the street in a trance!
You fly down the street
On a chance that you'll meet
And you meet, not really by chance
Don't cry, young lovers, whatever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my memories are happy tonight
I've had a love of my own
I've had a love of my own like yours
I've had a love of my own!
Instrumental verse
I've had a love of my own like yours
I've had a love of my own!
