lyrics

LOVE DIES YOUNG

Love dies young
In the eyes of seventeen
That flit from dream to dream
On the beaches in July
Love dies young
Like the melting of the dew
Like Winter wading through
The gardens of Versailles
Love dies young
When words once whispered
Soft on summer nights
Are mocked by airport tannoys
Giving their last rites

Love dies young
It walks away into the night
So my darling come and die
A little here tonight
Love dies young
So what more can lovers give
Than let love live
For love dies young

Love dies young
In the arms of twenty-one
When you’re looking for ‘the one’
Or just anyone in reach
Love dies young
When love is just the name
You give that stubborn stain
That dawn awaits like bleach
Love dies young
When promises you
Banked go overdrawn
When all those words you said
Lie dead before the morn

Love dies young
It walks away into the night
So my darling come and die
A little here tonight
Love dies young
So what more can lovers give
Than let love live
For love dies young

Love dies young
In the heart of evermore
When you’re no longer sure
Or not as certain as before
Love dies young
When you’re too set in your ways
Too familiar to amaze
Each other anymore
Love dies young
When habit reigns and
Silence turns the screw
When thoughts of greener grass
Haunt everything you do

Love dies young
It walks away into the night
So my darling come and die
A little here tonight
Love dies young
So what more can lovers give
Than let love live
For love dies young
