David Gates - She Was So Young Lyrics






Off in the corner, the restaurant dim
He looks at her and she smiling at him
Wish you could hear what he's trying to say
Slipped in between while the waiter's away

She is so young in the spring of her life
He in his autumn, and I know his wife
He took a chance when it came to him, then
He found it's too late to start over again

Life can be so hard at times
Man's only mortal and oftentimes frail
Hard to success but so easy to fail

Now he must tell her of all of his past
She will be leaving, it's over at last
Left without either to love or forget
Hoping to undo what he's done and yet

She was so young and so hard to resist
He always felt there was something he missed
Here comes the waiter, the bill on his tray
Only a part of the price he must pay

Cause life can be so hard at times
Man's only mortal and so often frail
Hard to success but so easy to fail

    SHE WAS SO YOUNG LYRICS..

    Off in the corner, the restaurant Dim
    He looks at her and she smiling at him
    Wish you could hear what he's trying to say
    Slipped in between while the waiter's away

    She is so young in the spring of her life
    He in his autumn, and I know his wife
    He took a chance when it came to can him, then
    Found is too late to start over again

    Life, can be, so hard, at times
    Man's only mortal and oftentimes frail
    Hard to success but so easy to fail

    Now he must tell her of all of his past
    She will be leaving, it's over at last
    Left without either to love or forget
    Hoping to undo when he's down and yet

    She is so young and so hard to resist

    The beginning of the song it sounds like their song "Game of Magic"

    Thanks for uploading this. I lost my copy of the album and often sing it on my guitar. I almost feel I am living the story when I sing this song.

    I mean dictation

    Thank you for uploading. I have nearly forgotten this song that I love so much in 1980 while I was in school. His diction is so clear for such a simple but melodic song!
