About The Song
Released in 1962, “The Young Ones” is a classic rock and roll anthem that propelled British singer Cliff Richard to international stardom. The song serves as the title track for the 1961 film of the same name, a coming-of-age story about a group of young people navigating love, friendship, and the challenges of growing up.
With its energetic melody and catchy lyrics, “The Young Ones” perfectly captures the youthful spirit and optimism of the early 1960s. The song’s upbeat tempo and Richard’s charismatic vocals make it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.
The song’s success was further bolstered by the backing of The Shadows, a legendary British instrumental group who provided the driving rhythm and guitar solos. Together, Richard and The Shadows created a sound that defined British rock and roll for generations to come.
Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
The young ones
Darling, we’re the young ones
And young ones
Shouldn’t be afraid
To live, love
While the flame is strong
‘Cause we may not be the young ones
Very long
Tomorrow
Why wait until tomorrow?
‘Cause tomorrow
Sometimes never comes
So love me
There’s a song to be sung
And the best time is to sing
While we’re young
Once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh, I need you and you need me
Oh, my darling, can’t you see?
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
And young hearts
Shouldn’t be afraid
And some day
When the years have flown
Darling, then we’ll teach the young ones
Of our own
Once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh, I need you and you need me
Oh, my darling, can’t you see?
Young dreams
Should be dreamed together
And young hearts
Shouldn’t be afraid
And some day
While the years have flown
Darling, then we’ll teach the young ones
Of our own
