Lyrics
YOUNG LOVE
Deep in my heart
I get a sweet old achin'
Just when that evening sky
Turns an incandescent blue
Fixin' my gaze
Beyond the horizon
Thinkin' about the beautiful times
I spent with you
We didn't have no cares
'Bout anything but each other
Nobody could hurt us
You were my best friend and my best lover
Know now that kind of freedom
You only get when you're young
No rules to bind us
We was high on somethin' nobody could touch
An' now I wanna' hold you
To feel you near
Rockin' in the back seat
Swimmin' in the river
Lettin' you take down my long hair
Layin' together
Talkin' till the dawn
I didn't know
That was love
And before I knew it
You were gone
We'd be talkin' soft and low
So we couldn't be heard
I shared my soul with you
An' I know you was listenin' to every word
Times now in the darkness
I'm back with you in my mind
Hearin' my night-time angel whisperin'
Feelin' your love wrapped around me tight
An' now I wanna' hold you
To feel you near
Rockin' in the back seat
Swimmin' in the river
Lettin' you take down my long hair
Layin' together - laying together - Em
Talkin' till the dawn
I didn't know
That was love
And before I knew it
You were gone
I know I won't love like that again oooh
No right and wrong oooh
No more thinkin' bout tomorrow
Fearless, right and strong

And before I knew it
You were gone
