She Was Only Seventeen (Elle n’avait que 17 ans) Songtext
von Marty Robbins

Seventeen, and he was one year more
Seventeen, and he the girl adored, seventeen

She was only seventeen, and he was one year more (seventeen)
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 (seventeen)

Are they old enough to know if love will last for a life? (seventeen)
Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife?

Well, in the past I bet it′s happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen, another one year more


Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong?
As long as God has no objections, there can be no wrong (seventeen)
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best (seventeen)
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test

'Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen, 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 (seventeen)
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best (seventeen)
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test

′Cause like I say, I bet it′s happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen, another one year more

Seventeen
