Young At Heart

Louis Prima · Other Songs - Louis Prima

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

And 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 and five

Look at all you'll derive out of 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 and five

Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive

And here is the best part, you have a head start

If you are among the very young at heart
