Willie Nelson - Young At Heart Lyrics
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
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 it's way
Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth
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 and five
Look at all you'll derive
out of being alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
And if you should survive
to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive
out of being alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

Willie Nelson Young At Heart Comments
This is magnificent American music like nothing else in the world!
As I type this Sirius is playing Willie Nelson's recent take on YOUNG AT HEART. A countrified (steel guitar accents) version that sounds so nice delivered as only he can, by the greatest living country singer/songwriter. Just checked the Wikipedia entry and sure enough it says who had a first hit with it, but not one of my favorite anecdotes shared with friends by my favorite female lyricist (Frank's too?) Carolyn Leigh.
"I goofed," were Nat King Cole's first words upon being introduced to Carolyn. So why didn't he record it? "I thought it was for the geriatric set" (not his audience). Wiki can take it from here:
----
"Young at Heart" is a pop standard, a ballad with music by Johnny Richards and lyrics by Carolyn Leigh.[1] The song was written and published in 1953, with Leigh contributing the lyrics to what was originally a Richards instrumental called "Moonbeam". Frank Sinatra was the first performer to record the song, which became a million-selling hit in 1953 (and spilling over with popularity into 1954) where it reached the No. 2 spot in the Billboard charts.[2] The song was such a hit that a movie that Sinatra was filming at the same time with Doris Day was renamed to the song title, and the song was included in the opening and closing credits of the movie, which was released as Young at Heart. The song has also been used on the soundtracks of other films, including It Could Happen to You, The Front, Sweet Dreams, Space Cowboys (in a rendition by Willie Nelson), and a Rio Olympics featurette from Gatorade.
Willie. One of those artists who can make an old song all his own.
So very beautiful like the whole album :-)
Yes, beautiful like the entire Sinatra tribute album.
this is one of my favorite songs ever and Willie sings it so pleasantly....I love him!
Yes. You hear him sing this and love fills your heart.
Love me some Willie!
