Mark Knopfler - Two Young Lovers lyrics

It was the last day of summer It was the first of a new romance He walked into her on the corner She said, i don't dance He said, baby let me teach you She said, o.k., when? He said, how can i reach you baby I'd really like to see you again He picked her up on a friday night He took her for a bite to eat His heart was beating and his hands were shaking She thought he was sweet And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek And he walked her home and he kissed her He was walking on air all week Well, they couldn't stand to be apart They couldn't leave one another alone Her mama used to say, it's getting late sweetheart It's time that boy went home And upstairs papa kissed mama And she gave him a sweet caress He said, here's to the two young lovers Let's wish 'em every happiness It was the last day of summer They came walking home hand in hand They went and told her mama They showed her the wedding band Mama cried and poured the wine Papa just said god bless Now, here's to the two young lovers Let's wish 'em every happiness
