Love's Young Dream

lyrics

Well I was only seventeen
when we went and tied the knot
We were love’s young dream, we were full of it,
we had flowers we had the lot

We didn’t think about anything,
we just gazed into each others eyes
When we said “I Do” We were so made
up we just raised our heads to the skies

Well this is all we’d heard about and more
So we smiled and shut the door
But then we smiled no more

Kids came quickly one, two, three,
we played happy families
I went to work while you stayed at home
bouncing babies on your knees

It was difficult to make ends meet
on a single salary
So we both took turns at going out,
it was the only way it could be

Well this is all we’d heard about and more
So we smiled and shut the door
But then we smiled no more

Time passed quickly, years went by
I never knew before how time could fly
We looked so old then it came to me
I didn’t know you and you didn’t know me

Now that we are twenty-five
seems that life is passing us by
All of our friends are doing things,
leading such exciting lives

While we drink too much, we fight too much,
it’s a struggle just to get by
Still together, still as one
but leading separate lives

Well this is all we’d heard about and more
So we smiled and shut the door
But then we smiled no more
Love’s young dream!
