Iris DeMent - When Love Was Young Lyrics






Look at you, look at me
My heart breaks as I read our sad story

Never thought that I'd be
Here with you, wishing I was free
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young

There was nothing I would not do for the chance to see your face
How could I have known back then that today I'd hesitate

When you hold me in your arms
I don't yearn for that charm
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young

Look at how our curtain fell
Guess it's true, only time can tell
'Bout an ending

Kids are grown, we've had our day
Guess it's time now to go away
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young

There was nothing I would not do for the chance to see your face
How could I have known back then that today I'd hesitate

When you hold me in your arms
I don't yearn for that charm
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young
I never dreamed today would come
When love was young
Ooh
