She was only seventeen lyrics

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're 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 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 said I bet it's happened more than once before

When someone 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.
