 Key:
   She was only sixteen,  only six  teen
   But I  loved her  so
 She was too young to  fall in  love
 And  I was  too young to  know
 We'd laugh and we'd sing, and  do funny  things
   And it  made our hearts  glow
 She was too young to  fall in  love
 And  I was  too young to  know
 So  why did I  give my  heart so fast?
 It  never will  happen a  gain
 But  I was a  mere  child of six  teen
   I've aged a year since  then
 She was  only sixteen,  only six  teen
   Oh, with  eyes that would  glow
 She was too young to  fall in  love
 And  I was  too young to  know
 Instrumental as the verse
 So  why did I  give my  heart so fast?
 It  never will  happen a  gain
 But  I was a  mere  child of six  teen
   I've aged a year since  then
 Now she was  only sixteen,  only six  teen
   Oh, but I  loved that girl  so
 She was too young to  fall in  love
 And  I was  too young to  know
 Yeah she was too young to  fall in  love
 And  I
 I was too  young
 I was much too young to  know
Love  your  work Mr Locorriere!
