Well, I fell in love at eleven years old with the nicest girl in school,
All tongue-tied and bashful and painfully shy, I hoped that she loved me too;
Every day after school I'd go stand at her gate, cheerfully braving the cold,
Hoping to get just one glimpse of the girl that I loved at eleven years old.
Love at eleven will live on forever in memories worth more than gold.
Can anyone truthfully say he's forgotten his love at eleven years old?
Well, I saved up my money to buy a big heart full of candy for Valentines day,
Proudly I marched to her front door and rang with the heart I was giving away;
She opened the door and her mouth couldn't speak, but I saw the love in her eyes,
And I knew as I silently handed my heart to her this was her greatest surprise.
Love at eleven will live on forever in memories worth more than gold.
Can anyone truthfully say he's forgotten his love at eleven years old?
Time was the thing that made wedding bells ring, we took the big step in our lives,
And I was so happy, all dressed for the wedding, the day she became my young bride;
Something between us kept us together, a love that never grows cold,
She knows I love her and I will forever like the kid at eleven years old.
Love at eleven will live on forever in memories worth more than gold.
Can anyone truthfully say he's forgotten his love at eleven years old?
