Hello Young Lovers

Steve Lawrence · Other Songs - Steve Lawrence

When I think of Tom

I think about a night

When the earth smelled of summer

And the sky was streaked with white

And the soft mist of England

was sleeping on a hill

I remember this

And I always will

There are new lovers now

on the same silent hill

Looking on the same blue sea

And I know Tom and I

are a part of them all

And they're all a part of Tom and me

Hello Young lovers whoever you are

I hope your troubles are few

All my good wishes go with you tonight

I've been in love like you

Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star

Be brave and faithful and true

Cling very close to each other tonight

I've been in love like you

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels

And to fly down a street in a trance

You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet

And you meet not really by chance

Don't cry young lovers whatever you do

Don't cry because I'm alone

All of my memories happy tonight

I've had a love of my own

I've had a love of my own like yours

I've had a love of my own
