Marty Robbins - She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More) lyrics

rate me

She was only seventeen and he was one year more<br />

She loved him with all her heart, and he the girl adored<br />

But all their friends believed they were too young to know the score<br />

Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more<br />

<br />

Are they old enough to know if love will last a life?<br />

Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife?<br />

Within the past I bet it's happened more than once before<br />

When someone else was seventeen and another one year more<br />

<br />

Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong?<br />

As long as God has no objection, there can be no wrong<br />

<br />

Let us be the first to wish them all the very best<br />

Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test<br />

Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before<br />

When someone else was seventeen and another one year more
