Young World - Rick Nelson (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Young World (Rick Nelson, 1962). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2023-03-23. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"

"Young World," written by Jerry Fuller, was Rick Nelson's 15th top 10 hit rising to the no. 5 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1962 (Whitburn, 2013). The musicians who performed on the record for Nelson included Glen Campbell, James Burton, Joe Osborn, Ritchie Frost, and Jim Pierce (Wikipedia, 2023). Six months or so before the release of "Young World," Nelson decided to change his performing name from Ricky to Rick (Whitburn, 2013). Although "Young World" was a major hit for Nelson, it was only released as a single and did not appear on any of his initial album releases (Whitburn, 2006); it was finally included on his 2000 Legacy and 2005 Greatest Hits albums (allmusic, 2023).

Lyrics:

It's a young world
When you're in love, you're in a young world
So take my hand and let me show you
Just how true young love can be

And whoa-uh-oh
It's a young world
And if you'll tell me you're my one girl
You'll make my whole life worth livin'
Just by givin' your love to me

All of the world is a treasure
When you have someone to care
Promise me your love forever

We'll have the whole world to share
And it's a young world
When you're in love, you' re in a young world
If you believe what I've told you

Let me hold you, say you love me
All of the world is a treasure
When you have someone to care
Promise me your love forever

We'll have the whole world to share
And it's a young world
When you're in love, you' re in a young world
If you believe what I've told you

Let me hold you, say you love me
It's a young world, whoa-oh-oh
It's a young world, whoa-oh-oh
