SHE WAS ONLY
SEVENTEEN
AND HE WAS
ONE YEAR MORE
SHE LOVED HIM
WITH ALL HER HEART
AND HE THE GIRL
ADORED
BUT ALL THEIR FRIENDS
BELIEVED
THEY WERE TOO YOUNG
TO KNOW THE SCORE
'CAUSE SHE WAS ONLY
SEVENTEEN
AND HE WAS
ONE YEAR MORE
ARE THEY OLD ENOUGH
TO KNOW
IF LOVE WILL LAST
FOR LIFE
ISN'T HE TOO YOUNG
TO BE A HUSBAND
HER A WIFE
WELL IN THE PAST
I BET IT'S HAPPENED
MORE THAN ONCE BEFORE
WHEN SOMEONE ELSE
WAS SEVENTEEN
ANOTHER
ONE YEAR MORE
DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT
TO QUESTION LOVE
THAT SEEMS SO STRONG
AS LONG AS GOD
HAS NO OBJECTIONS
THERE CAN BE
NO WRONG
LET US BE
THE FIRST TO WISH THEM
ALL THE VERY BEST
LET US HOPE THEIR LOVE
IS STRONG ENOUGH
TO MEET THE TEST
'CAUSE LIKE I SAY
I BET IT'S HAPPENED
MORE THAN ONCE BEFORE
WHEN SOMEONE ELSE
WAS SEVENTEEN
ANOTHER
ONE YEAR MORE
4 BAR
VOCAL BREAK
LET US BE
THE FIRST TO WISH THEM
ALL THE VERY BEST
LET US HOPE THEIR
LOVE IS STRONG ENOUGH
TO MEET THE TEST
'CAUSE LIKE I SAY
I BET IT'S HAPPENED
MORE THAN ONCE BEFORE
WHEN SOMEONE ELSE
WAS SEVENTEEN
ANOTHER
ONE YEAR MORE
