You are so young
But you are so old
Your affections for me
Are strong and you are bold
I want to love you
Don't you see
I cant be with you
Until your eighteen
Our love for each other
Is tender yet forbidden
That is why our affections must be hidden
I want to be with you
As close as can be
You ask why cant we be lovers
I say it is because you are sixteen
I wish our ages were closer
Two years is two too many
One day we will be together
The day you are eighteen and I am twenty
