Lyrics and translation
Original
Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart
You can go to extremes
With impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams
Fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting
With each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on the way
Don't you know what it's worth
Every treasure on earth
To be young at heart?
Oh, for as rich as you are
It's much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive
To be one hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive
Out of being alive
And here is the best part
You'll have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
To be young at heart, oh yeah
Sing it, Rod
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Mm
And if you should survive
To be a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive
Out of being alive
And here is the best part
You'll have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
