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
You don't know what love is until you've learned the meaning of the blues Until you've loved a love you've had to lose You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt until you've kissed and had to pay the cost Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost You don't know what love is Do you know how a lost heart fears the thought of reminiscing Or how lips that taste of tears, they lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn for love that cannot live yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes You don't know what love is
