Young At Heart

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've had a head start

If you are among the very

Young at heart

And if you should survive to 105

Think of all you'll derive

Out of being alive

And here is the best part

You've had a head start

If you are among the very

Young at heart...

 

 

The lyrics were written for the 1954 film Young At Heart by Carolyn Leigh, the music by Johnny Richards. The film starred Frank Sinatra, who was commonly credited with singing this song.
