She spent her childhood

Somewhere deep within Missouri

Grew up faster than her heart

Mom said you're a child of God

She said but mom i'm in such a hurry

Maybe California, Maybe New York



Cause you know we're all young at heart

You taught me so much

& brought me so far

I know you'll understand

I know you felt like me before

Cause you know we're all young at heart



They met at his friend's house

It was cigarettes & Edgar Winter

He told her how he'd like to learn to fly

It went from love to worse

With a child due in December

She left him with a note in July



It said that we're all young at heart

You taught me so much

& brought me so far

I know you'll understand

I know you felt like me before

Cause you know we're all young at heart



I know you'd like for me to stay

& you can have it that way

Cause you never really help me know

& oh you can give me so much

But sometimes love is not enough

No, its not enough for me



She's fifty-four

Felt she needed more than her prescription

Laid for eight days cold on the floor

Finally a neighbor called

He said something seems suspicious

They had to break down the door



They found that we're all young at heart

You taught me so much

& brought me so far

I know you'll understand

I know you felt like me before

Cause you know we're all young at heart



Oh i thought i'd need you

now i need so much more

I thought i'd found the truth

& now it seems like it's still so far

I sold my heart for the perfect drug

But whats the worse

Coming down from the love



We're all young at heart

You taught me so much

& brought me so far

I know you'll understand

I know you felt like me before

Cause you know we're all young
