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
