Hello Young Lovers Who Ever You Are


Hello young lovers who ever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you

Be brave young lovers and follow your star
Be brave and faithful and true

Cling very close to each other tonight
I've been in love like you

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
And fly down the street in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
And you meet not really by chance

Don't cry young lovers what ever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my memories are happy tonight
I've had a love of my own
I've had a love of my own like yours
I've had a love of my own



Oh my heart. My old heart. How it wept at the sight of these two young people looking into their future. Then my brain commanded: "Your camera! Take a picture!" I did. Now you, too, may shed a tear or smile. Note that the bench they're sharing their reverie on is dedicated to someone who experienced their joy once, too. Hello young lovers . . . .

It's funny but Art and I were just talking about how unencumbered by resposibilities and dificulties we were when we met. The future was unwritten to us. That's a lovely photo and I'll bet Nancy Lee Grinonneau is loving it too.

And most appropriate to post the words to this song, with Deborah Kerr's recent death.
Ah, young love. Yes, the two of them, and the woman memorialized on the bench--the circle of life.

OH, Cathy, life was so grand. So young and full of dreams - all happy ones... Ahhhh. Young lovers make the world go round.

Lovely, lovely post.

About your previous post, I am sending your mom my prayers and energy, what a nasty virus with very bad timing. I know she will be fine, but I'm sorry she has to deal with a virus on her way to getting there.

This post made me cry, I know the words to this song by heart and I could hear the music as I read them. I'm glad our old hearts haven't forgoten what romance is all about and how alive and free it makes you feel. It is also a lovely tribute to the passing of our lovely Deborah Kerr.

Wonderful photo, Cathy. You know, I don't think I can remember back that far! My husband and I just passed year 37 together.

So glad your mom is doing better.
