It was late at night 
When she came weeping
To knock upon his door.
And by the candle light 
She said that things
Could not be like they were before

She told him what had happened
And how things would have to be
And she told him how their two
Would soon become a three

She could feel him shaking
As he pulled her near
He brushed back her hair 
and whispered into her ear

We are young
We will survive this
It would take so much more
To tear this love apart
We are young
We will survive this
And I swear these words
By the beating of my heart

Years gone by
And she's been thinking
Maybe he doesn't love her anymore
And she's been wonderin'
Just what the hell
Has she been trying for?

 So she packs her bags 
And she thinks she's headed
Straight out that front door
But when she thinks of leaving
Her knees go weak
And she falls right to the floor

He picks her up
And holds her close
And wipes her tears away
And all those fears
Just seem to melt
As she hears him say,

We are young
We will survive this
It would take so much more
To tear this love apart
We are young
We will survive this
And I swear these words
By the beating of my heart

Far down the road
She lies weakly
In a hospital bed
And her hand shakes 
As she reaches up
To place it on his head

And he's been thinkin'
With breaking heart
It won't be too much longer now
And he's been tryin'
To imagine living without her
And he just can't see how.

He lays his head upon her breast
and cries so hard it hurts
And with her dying breath
He hears her say these words

We are young
We will survive this
It would take so much more
To tear this love apart
We are young
We will survive this
and I swear these words
By the beating of my heart:96
