Frank Sinatra Sings "Young at Heart"

Re-posted by Nicholas Stix

Music by Johnny Richards
Words by Carolyn Leigh

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...

Then here is the best part,
You have a head start,
If you are among the very
Young at heart.

[Bridge]

And if you should survive
To 105,
Look at all you'll derive
Out of being alive,
Then here is the best part,
You have a head start,
If you are among the very
Young ... at ... heart.
