The Young Ones
Performer：Cliff Richard & The Shadows
Composer ：Sid Tepper / Roy C. Bennett
Lyricist ：Sid Tepper / Roy C. Bennett
The young ones
Darling we’re the young ones
And the young ones shouldn’t be afraid
To live love
While the flame is strong
‘cause we may not be the young ones very long
Tomorrow
Why wait until tomorrow
‘cause tomorrow sometimes never comes
So love me
There’s a song to be sung
And the best time is to sing it while we’re young
once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh I need you and you need me
Oh my darling can’t you see
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
And the young hearts shouldn’t be afraid
And some day when (while) the years have flown
Darling then we’ll teach the young ones of our own
once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh I need you and you need me
Oh my darling can’t you see
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
And the young hearts shouldn’t be afraid
And some day when (while) the years have flown
Darling then we’ll teach the young ones of our own
