Emmy Rossum - When Love Is New - Dolly Parton & Emmy Rossum lyrics

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:

Mother, oh Mother, why can't you see

He's the only love for me

Why must thou be opposed to me

I'm asking for thy blessing

Mother:

Daughter, oh daughter, I know his kind

You think he's handsome, you think he's fine

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: When love grows cold it's tragic

Daughter:

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:

Oh, yes, I do remember it well

What first was heaven soon turned to hell

He left with another the year you were born

I told you he's dead and buried

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: He'll love me true 'cause he told me so

Mother: He'll break you heart when love grows old

Daugter: I must go, Mother, I must go

Mother: Then, daughter, why are you asking?

Daughter: I love him so, I love him so

Mother: Then I pray you're new love's lasting

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: (Hums)
