My
first love, my young love
I thought it was true love
But how was I to know
That it was only growing pains?
My first love,
my young love My wonderful new love
When you're so young, no one explains
A boy next door was all the world to me
When I came home from school I had to see
If he was waiting in the garden just for me
He was the hero of my story I used to dream about the way he looked
And we would spend so many happy hours together My first love,
my young love
I thought it was true love Our little garden fence
Was like a magic bridge of dreams My first love,
my young love
My wonderful new love
When spring wakes your heart
How great it seems
Our parents must have been amused to see
How much we loved each other's company
But they were grown-ups so they'd never
understand
We made such promises as children can
When you are young, there's so much time to plan
We thought our love would never ever go away
My first love,
my young love I thought it was true love
The day he moved away
I thought I'd die
My first love,
my young love My wonderful new love
That beautiful
world was you and I
Well,
we're not children anymore
My first love,
my young love
My first love
