Fairy tales can come true, it
can happen to you
If you're young at heart.
For it's hard, you will find, to
be narrow of mind
If you're 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.
And love is either in your
heart, or on it's way.
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
105,
Look at all you'll derive out of
being alive!
And here is the best part, you
have a head start
If you are among the very young
at heart.
(Musical interlude)
And if you should survive to
105,
Look at all you'll derive out of
being alive!
And here is the best part, you
have a head start
If you are among the very young
at heart.
