[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

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...
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.
