VERSE 1
Savannah’s been my sweetheart since I was ten years old
She’d wear my t-shirt walkin’ back from the swimming hole
One day she snuck up and kissed me right on my left cheek
And a swarm of butterflies started flutterin’ down in my knees
That’s how Adam must of felt first time he kissed Eve
CHORUS
Young love is old as time
Boy meets girl and fireworks fly
Nothing’s changed since the first kiss lit up the sky
Eighteen or eighty we still go crazy for young love
VERSE 2
Seven summers later, I was bailing grandpa’s hay
My little country angel brought me fresh squeezed lemonade
Savannah in her sundress was a heavenly sight
I said baby let’s hit the swimmin’ hole tonight
You and me makin’ ripples in the pale moonlight
CHORUS
Young love is old as time
Boy meets girl and fireworks fly
Nothing’s changed since the first kiss lit up the sky
Eighteen or eighty we still go crazy for young love
Bridge A E G/D B7
Savannah and I muddy up the creek every chance we can
Laughin’ and splashin’ like little kids runnin’ holdin’ hands
LEAD
Savannah took my last name seven years ago this june
now were raisin' a little hellion high steppin' in daddy's boots
I watched him pluckin' daisies she loves me she loves me not
he's got a crush on a pretty red head who lives just down the block
I saw him kiss her on the cheek man that turned back the clock
CHORUS
Young love is old as time
Boy meets girl and fireworks fly
Nothing’s changed since the first kiss lit up the sky
Eighteen or eighty we still go crazy for young love
