Because they're young, because they're young The stars are twice as bright above Their dreams are new but they'll come true Because they're young and in love Just like me and you See the happy couples strolling through the park Swinging hands as they go by We know they feel the way we feel And we also know the reason why Because they're young, because they're young The stars are twice as bright above Their dreams are new but they'll come true Because they're young and in love Just like me and you See the way they search to find a secret spot Now at last they're all alone They touch, they kiss and breathe each kiss They remind us of the joy we've known Because they're young, because they're young The stars are twice as bright above Their dreams are new but they'll come true Because they're young and in love Just like me and you Just like me and you
