She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More) Lyrics By Marty Robbins

    seventeen
    and he was one year more
    seventeen
    and he the girl adored
    seventeen

    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 for life
    isn’t he too young
    to be a husband her a wife

    well in the past i bet it’s happened
    more than once before

    when someone was seventeen
    another one year more

    middle
    do we have the right to question
    love that seems so strong
    as long as god has no objections
    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 said i bet it’s happened
    more than once before

    when someone else was seventeen
    another one year more

    middle
    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 said i bet it’s happened
    more than once before

    when someone else was seventeen
    another one year more
