LYRICS

You're so young and beautiful

And I love you so

Your lips so red, your eyes that shine

Shame the stars that glow

So fill these lonely arms of mine

And kiss me tenderly

Then you'll be forever young

And beautiful to me

You're so young and beautiful

You're everything I love

Your angel smile, your gentle touch

Are all I'm dreaming of

Oh, take this heart I offer you

And never set me free

Then you'll be forever young

And beautiful to me
