Two Young Lovers Intro: The Carousel Waltz Lyrics - Alchemy: Dire Straits Live - Dire Straits

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
