It's a secret and he tells no one
But his heart leaps like a beating drum
That's how it feels when you're young and in love

She's the reason he smiles all day
Like a bird sings in a gilded cage
That's how it feels when you're young and in love

They promise to be faithful and true
But young love needs no excuse
Like the future it never ends
Young hearts never pretend
That's when you know it's for real
That's how it feels when you're young and in love
That's how it feels when you're young and in love

Four in the morning she creeps down the stair
Runs to the rendevous will he be there
A hand on her shoulder she sighs
And the fear is over now
It's over now

In the moonlight there's a boy and girl
They're the only people in the world
That's how it feels when you're young and in love

But can't you just remember back in time
When the whole world was yours and mine
Maybe a lifetime between then and now
The feeling we shared was for real
That's how it feels when you're young and in love
That's how it feels when you're young and in love
