Lyrics
"YOUNG AT HEART"
Forrest (Frosty) Lawson
© FLAWSON PUBLISHING
(VERSE 1)
I was just 21-barely old enough to vote,
Thought I knew all the answers in my life.
But I didn't count on you to change my point of view,
So I settled down and took you as my wife.
(B-VERSE 1)
We both know it wasn't easy,
'Cause when you're young it's hard to see what's down the rod.
Like an old familiar friend, Father Time has come again,
To remind us that we're always YOUNG AT HEART.
(CHORUS)
YOUNG AT HEART-not a care in the world,
So in love-with my Young Hearted Girl.
When you smile, it carries me back to 1963,
We may be older now, but always YOUNG AT HEART.
(VERSE 2)
I remember playing games with our children in the rain,
Like a photograph forever in my mind.
And to this very day, even though they've moved away,
All the memories are never far behind.
(B-VERSE 2)
Growing old is never easy, but I can face anything if I'm with you.
When I look at us, I see two grown-upkids alive and free,
Well, the only way to be is YOUNG AT HEART.
(CHORUS)
YOUNG AT HEART-not a care in the world,
Still in love-with my Young Hearted Girl.
When you smile, it carries me back to 1963,
We may be older now, but always YOUNG AT HEART.
(SOLO)
(B-VERSE 3)
We should cherish every moment, for life's a gallery that's filled with priceless art.
I could live a hundred years and watch my troubles disappear,
Just as long as you are near, I'm YOUNG AT HEART.
(CHORUS)
YOUNG AT HEART-not a care in the world,
Still in love-with my Young Hearted Girl.
When you smile, it carries me back to 1963,
We may be older now, but always YOUNG AT HEART.
Never growing older now, 'cause we're always YOUNG AT HEART.
