Words by Sylvia Dee, Music by Sid Lippman

      A     C#m      F#m      Bm7-5   E7
They try to tell us we're too young,

     A        C#m          D      F#7
Too young to really be in love;

     Bm        Bm7-5   E7       Bm7       Bm7-5 E7
They say that love's a word, a word we've only heard

    Bm    Bm7-5    E7        E+      A   F#m7   F#7   Bm7    E7
But can't begin to know the meaning of.


    A         C#m      F#m       Bm7-5       E7
And yet we're not too young to know

       A         A6          A+       D    A+    D
This love will last though years may go;

    Bm         D         Dm   A   AM7   F#7
And then some day they may recall

       Bm7-5  E7      E7+  E7     A    F#m   D    E7
We were not     too young     at all.



(instrumental interlude - first section)


A         C#m      F#m       Bm7-5       E7
And yet we're not too young to know

       A         A6          A+       D    A+    D
This love will last though years may go;

    Bm         D         Dm   A   AM7   F#7
And then some day they may recall

       Bm7-5 E7   Fdim(III)  A   Cdim   D9    Bm7-5    A
We were not    too young at all.
