Pretty When It's New - Merle Haggard

Love’s always lovely when first two lovers meet

Hand in hand, arm in arm, walking down the street

Always seen together in everything they do

Love is always pretty when it’s new

Love is always special

Especially to the heart

When it’s love on sight and all is right

And there’s no doubt from the start

'Fore it starts to crumble

There’ll be many shades of blue

Ah but, love is always pretty when it’s new

Love is always pretty when it’s new

It has nothing bad about it

'Til your lover says, we’re through

And old love’s even sweeter

That old saying is really true

Love is always pretty when it’s new
