Gertrude Lawrence as Mrs. Anna (1951)

Hello, Young Lovers

When I think of Tom

I think about a night

When the earth smelled of summer

And the sky was streaked with white

And the soft mist of England

Was sleeping on a hill

I remember this

And I always will

There are new lovers now 

on the same silent hill

Looking on the same blue sea

And I know Tom and I are a part of them all

And they're all a part of Tom and me

Hello young lovers, wherever you are

I hope your troubles are few

All my good wishes go with you tonight

I've been in love like you

Be brave, young lovers 

and follow your star

Be brave and faithful and true

Cling very close to each other tonight

I've been in love like you

I know how it feels to have wings 

on your heels

And to fly down the street in a trance

You fly down a street on the chance 

that you'll meet

And you meet 

not really by chance

Don't cry young lovers, whatever you do

Don't cry because I'm alone

All of my memories are happy tonight

I've had a love of my own

I've had a love of my own, like yours

I've had a love of my own.
