Barry Manilow
"Young At Heart"

written by Carolyn Leigh and Johnny Richards

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 its 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 a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

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 its 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 a hundred and five
Think of all you'll derive out of being alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
