The Way Young Lovers Do Lyrics
We strolled through fields all wet with rain
And back along the lane again
There in the sunshine
In the sweet summertime
The way that young lovers do
I kissed you on the lips once more
And we said goodbye just adoring the nighttime
Yeah, that's the right time
To feel the way that young lovers do
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
and the way that we were meant to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
and you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, 'I love you, I love you'
The way that young lovers do
Do, do, do, do...
Then we sat on our star and dreamed of the way that we were and the way
that we wanted to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
and you were for me
I went on to dance the night away
And turned to each other, say, 'I love you, baby, I love you'
The way that young lovers do, lovers do, lovers do
Do, do, do, do....
I find the bass to be perfect, It almost has a fumbling feel like the first time young lovers make love.
I've never heard this song before, but the Jeff Buckley cover is brilliant, its a sweet song.
This songs great and I like it a lot, but I was wondering if anyone else feels like this song kind of sounds a little out of place on the album?

Side 2. Hes got the girl and is happy. Seems like the relationship was consumated between the time the first side ended and the time you put this one on.(thinking in terms of original LP) All very sweet but does anyone think that the Davis' bass is a little out of place?? hmm? a little harsh?overpowering? maybe even violent??is everything good at every level?
People complain about this song for this album, because they see this song as one continuous piece of art. I agree with that. But I like the song.

For me it is simple: in an album that largely focuses on the fleeting nature of love, lovers and even time, this song pinpoints those moments when we first meet someone and we feel we have it all. It is the fifth song on the album. It comes in the middle of Morrison's quest for something more eternal. And for a moment, he finds and thinks he has it. At 3:18 seconds...

And by the final song, Slim Slow Slider, the illusion of the feeling of young love has long been shattered.
Some may not feel that it fits in with the album. But, I do. For anybody that has ever experience that that bold new feeling that comes with finding a new lover, especially in our innocent younger days, knows that that feeling is only short lived and fleeting until reality sets in. But just because it can't last, doesn't mean Van shouldn't celebrate it. He does with this song, and he does it well, in my opinion.
