younger than springtime

i touch your hands

and my heart goes strong

like a pair of birds

that burst with song. my eyes look down

at your lovely face

and i hold a world

in my embrace. younger than springtime

are you

softer than starlight

are you

warmer than winds of june

are the gentle lips you gave me. gayer than laughter

are you

sweeter than music

are you

angel and lover

heaven and earth

are you to me. and when your youth

and joy invade my arms

and fill my heart as now they do

then younger than springtime

am i

gayer than laughter

am i

angel and lover

heaven and earth

am i with you!

and when your youth

and joy invade my arms

and fill my heart as now they do

then younger than springtime

am i

gayer than laughter

am i

angel and lover

heaven and earth

am i with you.
