New Orleans

I left you in a hotel in New Orleans
Said I was done for
I want to say how sorry I am
I left you in a foreign land

You were always a dream to me
But I thought one day you'll marry me
Chosen the evening the open road
You I'd say were my dreamgirl

You were my dream girl
We were young

I saw you again at the and of the door
You kissed me and kissed me
Then you were gone
You said my love turned you on
That is how I will remember New York

If I die tomorrow I will not falter
I've written you this song
So I know that you know
And there's nothing you can say
There's nothing you can do
If I live to be a hundred
I will always love you

Yeah
You were young
Yeah
You are young

I saw you again at the end of the door
You kissed me and kissed me
Then you were gone
I humbled for you, every breath
You came like a poisonous dose of death

Yeah
You are young
Yeah
You are young

There with you when I grew older
All the things I never told you
This is how I will remember
The passion that I could not surrender

I loved long
I loved long
I loved long
I loved long

Yeah
You are young
Yeah
You are young
Yeah
You are young
Yeah
You are young
