She was only seventeen and he was one year more
|
She loved him with all her heart, and he the girl adored
|
But all their friends believed they were too young to know the score
|
‘Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more
|
|
Are they old enough to know if love will last a life?
|
Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife?
|
Within the past I bet it's happened more than once before
|
When someone else was seventeen and another one year more
|
|
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong?
|
As long as God has no objection, there can be no wrong
|
|
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best
|
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
|
'Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
|
When someone else was seventeen and another one year more
|
