Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
Ah, love, what do you want with me?
Give me a heart that’s light and happy
Young and fancy free
Oh, no, fortunate you will be
If you escape one half the heartaches
I’ve in store for thee
Refrain
When hearts are young
When love’s a star, a song unsung
A magic land that gleams afar
We feel its truth, it’s voice allures
And youth calls youth
Saying, “Take me, I am yours”
When hearts are young
When love’s a star, a song unsung
A magic land that gleams afar
We feel its truth, it’s voice allures
And youth calls youth
Saying, “Take me, I am yours”
