(Original Key: )
She... was only six-teen, only six-teen, I loved her so.
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do the little things,
That made my heart glow.
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
Why did I give my heart so fast?
It never will happen a-gain.
But I was a mere lad of six-teen;
I've aged a year since then.
She was only six-teen, only six-teen, with eyes that would glow.
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
(Then why did you give your heart so fast?)
It never will happen a-gain.
(But you were a mere lad of six-teen);
I've aged a year since then.
She was only six-teen, only six-teen, with eyes that would glow.
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
She was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
