1.When You And I Were Young, Maggie
(the green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung! )
I wandered today to the hill, maggie,
To watch the scene below,
The creek and the creakin' old mill, maggie,
As we used to do long ago!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung . . .
The creakin' old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and i were young!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung,
The creakin' old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and i were young,
Since you and i were young,
Since you and i were young!
2.Young At Heart
＜ instrumental verse ＞
Fairy tales can come true,
It can happen to you,
If you're young at heart!
( young at heart! )
For it's hard you will find
To be narrow of mind,
If you're young at heart!
( 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,
An' love is either in your heart,
Or, on the way!
Don't you know that it's worth,
Every treasure on earth,
To be young at heart!
( young at heart! )
For as rich as you are,
It's much better by far,
To be young at heart!
( young at heart! )
And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!
And here is the best part,
You have a head start . . .
If you are among,
The very young at heart!
( don't you know that it's worth,
Every treasure on earth,
To be young at heart!
For as rich as you are,
It's much better by far,
To be young at heart! )
And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!
And here is the best part,
You have a head start . . .
If you are among,
The very young . . .
At heart!
3.I Was Young And Foolish
＜ instrumental opening ＞
I was young and foolish,
When i fell in love with you . . .
Not too wise in the ways of the world
Was i . . .
Young and foolish
Were the things i used to do,
Oh what silly tricks i would try!
I've changed my mind about many things,
Things i never knew before . . .
But though i've changed my mind about many things,
As time goes by,
I love you more!
If it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as i do,
Let me be young and foolish . . .
My whole life through!
( if it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as i do . . . )
Let me be young and foolish . . .
My whole life through!
I'll be young and foolish . . .
My whole life through!
4.Too Young
＜ instrumental opening ＞
They try to tell us we're too young,
Too young to really be in love,
They say that love's a word,
A word we've only heard,
But can't begin to know the meaning of!
And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go . . .
And then, someday they may recall,
That we were not too young at all!
＜ instrumental verse ＞
And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go . . .
And then, someday they may recall,
We were not too young at all!
5.You Make Me Feel So Young
( so young! . . .
So young! . . . so young! . . . )
You make me feel so young,
You make me feel so spring has sprung!
And every time i see you grin,
I'm such a happy, individual!
The moment that you speak,
I wanna go play hide an' seek!
I wanna go an' bounce the moon,
Just like a toy balloon!
You and i . . .
Are just like a couple of tots!
Runnin' across the meadow . . .
An' pickin' up lots of forget-me-nots!
You make me feel so young,
You make me feel there are songs to be sung . . .
Bells to be rung,
An' a wonderful fling to be flung!
And even when i'm old an' grey . . .
( and even when i'm old an' grey . . . )
I'm gonna feel the way i do today!
( 'cause you . . . )
You make me feel so young!
＜ instrumental verse ＞
And even when i'm old an' grey . . .
( and even when i'm old an' grey . . . )
I'm gonna feel the way i do today!
( 'cause you . . . )
You make me feel so young!
You make me feel so young!
( so young! )
6.Like Young
I'm out doin' the usual places,
And i'm livin' it, like young!
Then i dig me this face of all faces,
She's the craziest, like young!
She drinks coffee at caf？espresso,
She reads kerouac , like young!
She goes where all the angry young men go,
Recites poetry, like young!
We start blowin' the pad about lovin'
And we're homin' it, like now!
We spin records on cloud number seven,
And she's reaching me, like wow!
( he's all unstrung,
＆cause man, she's got him feelin' like young!
If she were to frosh him and go,
He's startin' to wear his hair again,
Just like a square again! )
I keep a getting' the kookiest notion.
I think maybe it's like love!
I've been feelin' a crazy emotion,
I think baby, it's like love!
Now we're ridin' a rainbow to cloudsville,
And we're makin' it like young!
Love . . . soft as april snow!
Love . . . warm as candle glow!
Love . . . love is easy go!
Now we're ridin' a rainbow to cloudsville,
And we're makin' it like young!

7.Hello, Young Lovers
1951 version
＜ slow instrumental opening ＞
Hello, young lovers, whoever you are,
I hope your troubles are few,
All my good wishes go with you tonight,
I've been in love like you.
Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star,
Be brave, an' faithful, an' true,
Cling very close to each other tonight,
I've been in love like you.
I know how it feels,
To have wings on your heels,
And to fly down the street in a trance!
You fly down the street,
On a chance that you'll meet,
And you meet, not really by chance.
Don't cry, young lovers, whatever you do,
Don't cry because i'm alone,
All of my memories are happy tonight,
I've had a love of my own.
I've had a love of my own like yours,
I've had a love of my own!

8.Especially For The Young
＜ instrumental ＆ choral opening ＞
Let's share the thrills that were made,
Especially for the young!
The dreams that never will fade,
Especially for the young!
Let's find out why a tender sigh,
Is the sweetest song ever sung,
Especially for the young! ( especially for the young! )
Especially for the young! ( especially for the young! )
So take my hand,
And walk with me!
The night is young,
And so are we!
Let's lose our hearts in a kiss,
Especially for the young!
For nights are made just like this,
Especially for the young!
The moon is there for all to share,
But we will find it was hung,
Especially for the young!
Especially for the young! ( especially for the young! )
Especially for the young!
9.Too Young To Go Steady
＜ instrumental ＆ choral opening ＞
Too young to go steady,
Too young, i hear her say,
She says we're not ready,
But then why am i feelin' this way？
Too young, so she tells me,
She says, we'll have to wait,
Why wait . . .
'till it may be too late？
Can she realize she drives me wild,
Is she made of stone？
Must she always treat me like a child,
Won't she ever own up, i'm grown up？
Someday, she'll be sorry,
Someday, just wait an' see!
She'll wish . . .
She'd gone steady . . .
With me!

Songs were made to sing,
While we're young!
Every day is spring,
While we're young!
None can refuse,
Time flies so fast!
Too dear to lose,
An' too sweet to last!
Though it may be just . . .
For today!
Share our love we must . . .
While we may!
So blue the skies,
All sweet surprise,
Shines before our eyes,
While we're young!

Time flies so fast!
Too dear to lose,
An' too sweet to last! )
Though it may be just . . .
For today!
Share our love we must . . .
While we may!
So blue the skies,
All sweet surprise,
Shines before our eyes,
While we're young!
