Richard Rodgers
Younger Than Springtime
I touch your hands
And my heart grows strong
Like a pair of birds
That burst with song
My eyes look down
At your lovely face
And I hold a world
In my embrace
Younger than springtime, are you
Softer than starlight, are you
Warmer than winds of June
Are the gentle lips you gave me
Gayer than laughter, are you
Sweeter than music, are you
Angel and lover, heaven and earth
Are you to me
And when your youth
And joy invade my arms
And fill my heart as now they do
Then younger than springtime, am I
Gayer than laughter, am I
Angel and lover, heaven and earth
Am I with you!
And when your youth
And joy invade my arms
And fill my heart as now they do
Then younger than springtime, am I
Gayer than laughter, am I
Angel and lover, heaven and earth
Am I with you
