< instrumental verse >
|
|
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!
|
|
( Don't you know that it's worth,
|
Every treasure on earth,
|
To be young at heart!
|
For as rich as you are,
|
It's much better by far,
|
To be 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!
