They say for every boy and girlThere’s just one love in this whole world And I know I’ve found mine The heavenly touch of your embrace Tells me no one could take your place Ever in my heartYoung love (young love), first love (first love)Filled with true devotion Young love (young love), our love (our love) We share with deep emotionJust one kiss from your sweet lipsWill tell me that your love is real And I can feel that it’s true We will vow to one another There will never be another Love for you or for meYoung love (young love), first love (first love)Filled with true devotion Young love (young love), our love (first love) We share with deep emotion
