Once more I hold you to my heart
as through the waltz we sway,
And though so long we've been apart
it seems it was just yesterday;

When you and I were seventeen
and life and love were new,
the world was just a field of green
'neath smiling skies of blue,
that golden Spring
when you were King
and I your wonderful Queen;
Do you recall
when love was all
and we were seventeen.

When you and I were seventeen
and life and love were new,
the world was just a field of green
'neath smiling skies of blue,
that golden Spring
when you were King
and I your wonderful Queen;
Do you recall
when love was all
and we were seventeen.

You loved me in the olden days
when we were seventeen
and so they've seemed like golden days
through all of the grey days between.

When you and I were seventeen
and life and love were new,
the world was just a field of green
'neath smiling skies of blue,
that golden Spring
when you were King
and I your wonderful Queen;
Do you recall
when love was all
and we were seventeen.

When you and I were seventeen
and life and love were new,
the world was just a field of green
'neath smiling skies of blue,
that golden Spring
when you were King
and I your wonderful Queen;
Do you recall
when love was all
and we were seventeen.
