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
