She Was Only Seventeen Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Seventeen and he was one year more 

Seventeen and he the girl adored 

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 a 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 else was seventeen and another one year more 

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 say, I bet it's happened more than once before 

When someone else was seventeen and another one year more 

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 say, I bet it's happened more than once before 

When someone else was seventeen and another one year more 

Seventeen
