paroles de chanson The Youth Of The Heart - Flanders , Swann




When I was a young man I hadn't a penny
"When shall we marry?" my Molly would say
But I was a wise man and said to my darling
"Love that is true love will not fade away."
Oh, the youth of the heart
And the dew in the morning
You wake and they've left you
Without any warning
I went to America looking for money
I worked all the day and slept all alone
The sweet silver dollars I saved for my darling
To clothe her in satin and make her my own
Oh, the youth of the heart
And the dew in the morning
You wake and they've left you
Without any warning
I came back to Ireland, my pockets a-jingle
The wedding bells rang as I came down the street
"Oh, where is the colleague I've come back to marry?"
I asked the first neighbor I happened to meet
Oh, the youth of the heart
And the dew in the morning
You wake and they've left you
Without any warning
Your love has grown weary of keeping her kisses
And learning a song that will never be sung
This morning your Molly has married another
A penniless man with a heart that is young
Oh, the youth of the heart
And the dew in the morning
You wake and they've left you
Without any warning
So all you young lovers all ready to marry
Remember my story and mind what I say
For I was a wise man and now I am sorry
The wisdom of winter is madness in May
Oh, the youth of the heart
And the dew in the morning
You wake and they've left you
Without any warning
