Fairy tales can come true,
it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For its 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

Dont you know that its 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
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among
the very young at heart

Fairy tales can come true,
it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For its 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

Dont you know that its 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
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among
the very young at heart.
