Young Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They say for every boy and girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I've found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart
[Chorus: Tab Hunter, The Jordanaires]
Young love, first love (Young love, first love)
Filled with true devotion
Young love, our love (Young love, our love)
We share with deep emotion
[Verse 2]
Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that you love is real
And I can feel that it's true
We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me
[Chorus: Tab Hunter, The Jordanaires]
Young love, first love (Young love, first love)
Filled with true devotion
Young love, our love (Young love, our love)
We share with deep emotion

How did Tab Hunter react to hearing this song on the radio for the first time?
I was cruising along Sunset Boulevard when my voice wafted from the car radio. I almost piled into a palm tree. Swerving the T-Bird to the curb, I cranked up the volume, and sat there, slack jawed, remembering what Randy Wood had said at our first meeting: ‘I can always tell a song is going to be a...
What has Tab Hunter said on Jack Warner's response to this song's release?
Jack Warner blew his stack. He said, “We own you for everything.” He totally prohibited me from recording for Dot [Records] any longer. And I said, “But, Mr. Warner, you don’t have a recording company.” And he said, “Well, we do now,” and they started Warner Brothers Records for me.
