Young Love

Roxanne doesn't think she's pretty enough

She sits staring up at the sky

Dream about a life that could be

She throws her diary into the sea

It becomes a very long summer

The careless nights of fantasy are over

When you see her she's white as a ghost

She misses the sun on her face the most

Young love - kiss it goodbye

Young love - don't you cry

Young love - it's no lie, there is love before the day you die

She feels her life has fallen apart

I tried to tell her the world has a bulletproof heart

Sometimes the past is hard to escape

When the future is bent out of shape

It becomes a very long summer

The careless nights of fantasy are over

When you see her she's white as a ghost

She misses the sun on her face the most

Young love - kiss it goodbye

Young love - don't you cry

Young love - it's no lie, there is love before the day you die, the day you die

Roxanne doesn't think she's pretty enough

She sits staring up at the sky

She wears a cross around her neck

Got the words at her fingertips

At the church, she knelt to pray

"Sweet Lord Jesus, give me the strength"

She cried his name, yeah

She cried his name

Young love - kiss it goodbye

Young love - don't you cry

Young love - it's no lie, there is love before the day you die

Young love - kiss it goodbye

Young love - don't you cry

Young love - it's no lie, there is love before the day you die
