When Love Was Young Lyrics

Iris Dement When Love Was Young

Look at you, look at me.
My heart breaks as I read our sad story.

Never thought that I'd be,
Here with you wishing I was free.
I never dreamed today would come,
When love was young.

There was nothing I would not do,
For the chance to see your face.
How could I have known back then,
That today I'd hesitate.

When you hold me in your arms,
I don't yearn for that charm.
I never dreamed today would come,
When love was young.

Look at how our curtain fell.
Guess it's true only time can tell,
'Bout an ending.

Kids are grown, we've had our day.
Guess it's time now to go away.
I never dreamed today would come,
When love was young.

There was nothing I would not do,
For the chance to see your face.
How could I have known back then,
That today I'd hesitate.

When you hold me in your arms,
I don't yearn for that charm.
I never dreamed today would come,
When love was young.

I never dreamed today would come,
When love was young.

Ooh ooh.
