"when love is new" lyrics

*** Sung with Dolly Pardon


Both:
Love is pretty when love is new
Like a blushing rose in a dazzling dew
Intoxicating like cherry sweet wine
When love is new it's magic

Daughter (Emmy):
Mother, oh mother, why can't you see
He's the only love for me
Why must thou be opposed to me
Cause I'm asking for thy blessing

Mother (Dolly):
Daughter, oh daughter, I know his kind
You think he's handsome, and you think he's fine
But he'll use your body and tangle your mind
Too late you'll learn this lesson

Both:
Love is pretty when love is new
Like a blushing rose in a dazzling dew
Intoxicating like cherry sweet wine
When love is new it's magic

Mother (Dolly):
When love grows cold it's tragic

Daughter (Emmy):
Mother, oh mother, he's not that way
His touch just takes my breath away
You surely remember when you felt that way
When you and father first married

Mother (Dolly):
Oh yes, I do remember it well
What first was heaven soon turned to hell
He left with another the year you was born
I told you he's dead and buried

Both:
But love is pretty when love is new
Like a blushing rose in a dazzling dew
Intoxicating like cherry sweet wine
When love is new it's magic

Daughter (Emmy):
He'll love me true 'cause he told me so
Mother (Dolly):
He'll break you heart when love grows old
Daughter (Emmy):
I love him so, I love him so
Mother (Dolly):
Then I pray you're new love's lasting

Mother (Dolly):
Love is pretty when love is new
Like a blushing rose in a dazzling dew
Shines like diamond, of silver and gold
When love is new it's magic
When love gorws old, it's tragic...

Both:
Love is pretty when love is new
Like a blushing rose in a dazzling dew
Intoxicating like cherry sweet wine
When love is new it's magic

Mother (Dolly):
