Young World
Rick Nelson · Greatest Hits [2005]
It's a young world
When you're in love, you're in a young world
So take my hand and let me show you
Just how true young love can be
And whoa-uh-oh.
It's a young world
And if you'll tell me you're my one girl
You'll make my whole life worth livin'
Just by givin' your love to me.
All of the world is a treasure
When you have someone to care
Promise me your love forever
We'll have the whole world to share.
And it's a young world
When you're in love, you' re in a young world
If you believe what I've told you
Let me hold you, say you love me.

All of the world is a treasure
When you have someone to care
Promise me your love forever
We'll have the whole world to share.
And it's a young world
When you're in love, you' re in a young world
If you believe what I've told you
Let me hold you, say you love me.
It's a young world, whoa-oh-oh
It's a young world, whoa-oh-oh.
It's a young world, ooh-ahh-ooh-ooh
(Young world, young world...)
