Young at Heart Lyrics

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!
