[Eleanor]: 668.Song lyrics.You’ll Forever be as Young as You Feel

Rereading this now, I realize that without the music it’s not great poetry, but it was my second song, give me a break!


You’ll Forever be as Young as You Feel

And you hang your head low,
And you hang your head low,
And I wonder, I wonder,
I wonder about the things they say;
And you tell me they say that your hair’s turning gray,
That the time of your life’s running out and you’re scared.
But don’t be afraid, don’t listen to what they say:
You’ll forever be as young as you feel.

But don’t stand there as the world passes by.
I won’t let you hang your head down and cry.
The world’s such a big place with so many things to do
And you’re not enjoying the view.

Still you hang your head low,
Still you hang your head low,
And I ask you, I ask you
Why not share the memories you’ve gathered for years;
They’re just collecting dust on the shelves of your mind.
Spread them around, let them mingle and twine;
They can’t hurt the people who hear them and find
You’ll forever be as young as you feel.

But don’t stand there as the world passes by.
I won’t let you hang your head down and cry.
The world’s such a big place with so many things to do
And you’re not enjoying the view.

So you stand there and laugh,
So you stand there and laugh
And I’m smiling, I am smiling.
Thank you for the love that you’ve managed to share.
I knew you could do it despite all your fears;
The joy in your heart dried up all those tears.
You’ll live at least another hundred years!
You’ll forever be as young as you feel.

So don’t stand there as the world passes by.
I won’t let you hang your head down and cry.
The world’s such a big place with so many things to do
But now you’re enjoying the view.
