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
