When Love Was Young - Iris DeMent

Look at you, look at me

My heart breaks as I read our sad story

Never thought that I’d be

Here with you, wishing I was free

I never dreamed today would come

When love was young

There was nothing I would not do for the chance to see your face

How could I have known back then that today I’d hesitate

When you hold me in your arms

I don’t yearn for that charm

I never dreamed today would come

When love was young

Look at how our curtain fell

Guess it’s true, only time can tell

'Bout an ending

Kids are grown, we’ve had our day

Guess it’s time now to go away

I never dreamed today would come

When love was young

There was nothing I would not do for the chance to see your face

How could I have known back then that today I’d hesitate

When you hold me in your arms

I don’t yearn for that charm

I never dreamed today would come

When love was young

I never dreamed today would come

When love was young

Ooh
