[Gloria:]
|
I was looking in the mirror last night
|
My grey hair turned to black
|
I was looking in the mirror last night
|
And pleasant memories came back
|
I remember the time when I was seventeen
|
And all the things that I wanted to do
|
The world was new
|
|
[Tulip:]
|
The world is for the young
|
C'mon, we're on our way
|
Its a wonderful place
|
But when we done what we're going to do
|
Then we'll have changed it's face
|
|
[Mr Brown:]
|
Searching through some papers one day
|
A sweet scent filled the air
|
It came from the letter I found
|
And a lock of dark hair
|
|
It belonged to a girl who was in love with me
|
And she written that without me, she'd die
|
[Mrs Brown:] I wonder why?
|
|
[Mrs Brown:]
|
Looking through an album last night
|
I came acrossed a snap
|
That showed a handsome youth
|
With a girl sitting on his lap
|
|
"Valentino?" I thought, with his sleeked black hair
|
And Mary Pigford was on his knee
|
But it was me!
|
|
[Mr & Mrs:]
|
The world is for the young
|
But they'll soon find out
|
When they come to explore
|
The strange new lands of expirience
|
But we've been there before
|
|
[Mr Brown:]
|
Trying to recapture the past
|
Only makes me regret
|
The passing of an age and all the people that I've met
|
|
[Gloria:]
|
A ride on a tram on the upper deck
|
With a boy with a Fairbanks moustache
|
We were so rash
|
|
[All:]
|
The world is for the young
|
It was always so
|
|
[Mr, Mrs, Gloria:]
|
It's not ours anymore
|
But, they'll find out when they follow us
|
'cause we've been there before
|
