it's a secret and he tells no one

but his heart leaps like a beating drum

that's how it feels when you're young and in love



she's the reason he smiles all day

like a bird sings in a gilded cage

that's how it feels when you're young and in love



they promise to be faithful and true

but young love needs no excuse

like the future it never ends

young hearts never pretend

that's when you know it's for real

that's how it feels when you're young and in love

that's how it feels when you're young and in love



four in the morning she creeps down the stair

runs to the rendevous will he be there

a hand on her shoulder she sighs

and the fear is over now

it's over now



in the moonlight there's a boy and girl

they're the only people in the world

that's how it feels when you're young and in love



but can't you just remember back in time

when the whole world was yours and mine

maybe a lifetime between then and now

the feeling we shared was for real

that's how it feels when you're young and in love

that's how it feels when you're young and in love
