He realized that she was new 2 love
  F7           Bb
Naive in every way
          Bb            Gm7
Every schoolboy's fantasy she was

That's why he had 2 wait
          Bb             Cm7               Bb            Ebsus2
If he poured his heart into a glass and offered it like wine

             Bb             Gm7
They could take a walk down the ocean side
       F7            Bb
Make a wish on every wave
            Bb         Gm7
They could find a carousel and ride

Or kiss in every cave
              Bb           Cm7         Bb                Ebsus2

[Verse 3]
         Bb            Gm     F7              Bb
Why is age more than a number when it comes 2 love?
           Bb              Gm
Should we ask the ones who speculate
     F7                        Bb
When they don't know what it's made of?
          Bb                Cm7
Should we ask the moonlight on your face
       F7                  Ebsus2
or the raindrops in your hair?
             Gm7                   F7
