When Love Is Young
Composer(s): Rida Johnson Young - M. Melville Ellis
Performer(s): Harry Woodruff



The beads on the wine in our glorious youth 
And life's full of fervor and zest
And the world is made bright by the light of a smile
Or the sound of the voice we love best
There's a thrill of delight in the touch of her hand
All the Earth's bubbling over with joy
Oh! the love that we give to the girls that we love
When we're boys, boys, boys

There are various way that a fellow may love 
And most of us sample them all
And the older and stronger you are when it strikes
The harder and deeper you fall
But there's no love on earth that holds half the thrill
No love that has half the joys 
As love that we give to the girls that we love
When we're boys, boys, boys

When love is young in Springtime
And boys are youthful, too 
And girls are so alluring 
What can a fellow do? 
A look, a smile, a dimple
You're caught, you're captured, stung
There's danger in the very air 
When love is young
