Fairy tales can come true, |
|
It can happen to you, |
|
If you're young at heart! |
|
( young at heart! ) |
|
For it's hard you will find |
|
To be narrow of mind, |
|
If you're young at heart! |
|
( young at heart! ) |
|
You can go to extremes, |
|
With impossible schemes, |
|
You can laugh when your dreams |
|
Fall apart at the seams . . . |
|
And life gets more exciting, |
|
With each passing day, |
|
An' love is either in your heart, |
|
Or, on the way! |
|
Don't you know that it's worth, |
|
Every treasure on earth, |
|
To be young at heart! |
|
( young at heart! ) |
|
For as rich as you are, |
|
It's much better by far, |
|
To be young at heart! |
|
( young at heart! ) |
|
And if you should survive, |
|
To a hundred an' five, |
|
Look at all you'll derive |
|
Outta bein' alive! |
|
And here is the best part, |
|
You have a head start . . . |
|
If you are among, |
|
The very young at heart! |
|
