She Was Only Seventeen
Marty Robbins
She was only seventeen
and he was one year more
She loved him
with all her heart
and he the girl adored
But all their friends
believed they were
too young to know the score
‘Cause she was
only seventeen
and he was one year more
Are they old enough to know
if love will last a life
Isn't he too young
to be a husband her a wife
Within the past
I bet it's happened
more than once before
When someone else was
seventeen and another one
year more
Do we have the right to
question love that
seems so strong
As long as God
has no objection
there can be no wrong
Let us be the first
to wish them
all the very best
Let us hope their love is
strong enough to meet the test
‘Cause like I s ay
I bet it's happened
more than once before
When someone else was
seventeen and another
one year more

Let us hope their love is
strong enough to meet the test
‘Cause like I s ay

one year more
