A Young Girl - Oscar Brown Jr[00:00:00]
Written by:Oscar Brown Jr./Charles Aznavour[00:00:11]
She left her neighborhood in which everyone was filthy rich[00:00:22]
She left her parent's home and strayed with a vagabond who made[00:00:29]
Vows of love she'd never heard and she believed his every word[00:00:34]
She left no forwarding address just took her youth and happiness[00:00:40]
As with the boy she vanished in[00:00:44]
The secret sweetness of their sin[00:00:48]
A young girl[00:00:56]
A young girl of sixteen[00:01:00]
Child of springtime still green[00:01:05]
Lying here by the road[00:01:10]
He told her love demanded space[00:01:19]
So they roamed from place to place[00:01:22]
Although she realized she'd sin she threw cautions to the wind[00:01:26]
As she followed him around[00:01:30]
While he just slowly dragged her down[00:01:32]
So overpowering was her love that it made a captive of[00:01:37]
The young girl's heart and soul and mind[00:01:41]
In other words love drove her blind[00:01:46]
A young girl[00:01:54]
A young girl of sixteen[00:01:58]
Child of springtime still green[00:02:03]
Lying here by the road[00:02:07]
Too much emotion for a girl[00:02:17]
She let her heart become her world[00:02:20]
But worlds that God has never wrought[00:02:24]
Fall a sunder we are taught[00:02:27]
Had she been wiser she'd have known[00:02:28]
She couldn't feed him love alone[00:02:30]
She should have known the day would come[00:02:35]
When he would quit her just for crumbs[00:02:37]
He wanted fresh new meat to carve[00:02:40]
Left her heart soul and mind to starve[00:02:45]
A young girl[00:02:54]
A young girl of sixteen[00:02:58]
Child of springtime still green[00:03:03]
Lying here by the road[00:03:07]
Dead[00:03:15]
