Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say for every boy and girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one can take your place
Forever in my heart

Young love first love

Filled with true emotion
Young love first love
We share with deep devotion

Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that your love is real
And I know it's true
We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me

Young love first love
Filled with true emotion
Young love first love
We share with deep devotion

Young love first love
Filled with true emotion

Young love first love
We share with deep devotion
