Lyrics We Were So Young - Noël Coward

We Were So Young

At a high-school cotillion
Favors pink, favors blue
There I met the one girl in a million
And the girl was you
Sweet, you were a shy love
But you were my love
And that high-school cotillion
Made me know I knew
We were so young
The time was an evening in May
You wore your pale blue organdy, I felt so gay
Life was an eager thing of Spring and moonlight
And you were the girl, and I was the boy from over the way
We were so young the heavens were smiling above
I asked to keep your handkercheif, you kept my glove
Life was an eager thing of Spring and moonlight
And you were the girl, and I was the boy from and we were in love
We were so young
And it was time was an evening in May
You wore your pale blue organdy, I felt so gay
Life was an eager thing of Spring and moonlight
And you were the girl, and I was the boy from over the way
We were so young the heavens were smiling above
I asked to keep your handkercheif, you kept my glove
Life was an eager thing of Spring and moonlight
And you were the girl, and I was the boy from and we were in love
