YOU'RE SO YOUNG


You're so young,
With stardust in your eyes,
And dreams you can't disguise,
Or give away.

You're so young,
And hardly ever kissed.
You're like the morning mist,
Or buds in May.

The world has a seamy side,
That you've never seen.
I'm glad you're so dreamy-eyed,
And just seventeen.

You're so young,
My love, I'll just sit tight.
You'll be, some other night,
Not quite so young.
