Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you
If you're young at heart (Young at heart)
[Verse 2]
For it's hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart (Young at heart)
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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)
[Verse 5]
And if you should survive
To a hundred and 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
[Verse 6]
(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?)
[Verse 7]
And if you should survive
To a hundred and 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
