Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.  Music by Richard Rodgers.

I touch your hand and my arms grow strong.

Like a pair of birds that burst with song.

My eyes look down at your lovely face

And I hold the world in my embrance.

Younger than Springtime are you.

Softer than star-light are you.

Warmer than winds of June are the gentle lips you gave me.

Gayer than laughter are you.

Sweeter than music are you.

Angel and lover, heaven and earth are you to me.

And when your youth and joy invade my arms

And fill my heart as now they do…

then…

Younger than Springtime am I.

Gayer than laughter am I.

Angel and lover,

Heaven and earth am I with you!

Younger than Springtime am I.

Gayer than laughter am I.

Angel and lover,

Heaven and earth am I with you!
