She Was Only Seventeen
by Marty Robbins

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 a life?
Isnt he too young to be a husband, her a wife?
Within the past I bet its 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 its happened more than once
before
When someone else was seventeen and another one year
more
