Oh! Anything you say

Can't just stay away

But now I cry to be with you

You're young, so young
-----------------------------

Used to sing love 'n had

Lots of magic and charm

You break my heart and I can't

Really pin you down
-----------------------------

I walk through all the snow

Tide starts to rise

Broke with a dish full of pennies

Troubles surround
-----------------------------

That caution in my soul

I have to carry at times

How to be merry once again

I'm old, he's young

-----------------------------

I love the rhythm of your feet

Said ‘People, hush! I can't hear!’

Is there still hope?

I'm old, you're young
-------------------------------

You're young, so young

Permission to resume by myself

Be happy here

See what’s true worth in this life 

Desire kicks

I try now to sit

But then have to slide
--------------------------------

Debutantes aglow with blame

I bought roses for you

Now riding away (with no fame at all)

I'm old, and he's young

--------------------------------
I had to stay away

taking it easy, for Heaven's sake

Have lost track of you

You're young, so young
---------------------------------
