You're only as young as your heart

Though the years pass on and on 

If it's new and you grow 

With each moment 

And the air and the vision 

You see out your eyes 

Change in a wonderful way 

Then the times are well spent 

And the gifts are all around 

And your eyes light up 

And the day is a new rendezvous 

Then you're only as young as your heart 

Your steps are light as a feather 

You're walking on clouds, you know 

You've gained and you've lost 

And you still come around 

With a gift and a word to the wise 

You're only as young as your heart 

There's times I know you feel lonely 

For the friends who've passed you on by 

But be free and you'll see 

That it only comes to be 

Another way back to your heart 

And in that place you'll find 

A happy way to exist 

Where this one and that one you meet 

Are a lot better off than before 

So be thankful for all that you've got 

And you'll get much more than you had 

For there's dreams, there's schemes and things planned 

And they all have nothing in mind 

You're only as young as your heart
