Roxanne doesn't think she's pretty enough
She sits staring up at the sky
Dream about a life that could be
She throws her diary into the sea
It becomes a very long summer
The careless nights of fantasy are over
When you see her she's white as a ghost
She misses the sun on her face the most
Young love - kiss it goodbye
Young love - don't you cry
Young love - it's no lie, there is love before the day you die
She feels her life has fallen apart
I tried to tell her the world has a bulletproof heart
Sometimes the past is hard to escape
When the future is bent out of shape
It becomes a very long summer
The careless nights of fantasy are over
When you see her she's white as a ghost
She misses the sun on her face the most
Young love - kiss it goodbye
Young love - don't you cry
Young love - it's no lie, there is love before the day you die, the day you die
Roxanne doesn't think she's pretty enough
She sits staring up at the sky
She wears a cross around her neck
Got the words at her fingertips
At the church, she knelt to pray
"Sweet Lord Jesus, give me the strength"
She cried his name, yeah
She cried his name
Young love - kiss it goodbye
Young love - don't you cry
Young love - it's no lie, there is love before the day you die
Young love - kiss it goodbye
Young love - don't you cry
Young love - it's no lie, there is love before the day you die
