Advice for the Young at Heart lyrics

Advice for the young at heart

Soon we will be older

When we gonna make it work?

Too many people

Living in a secret world

While they play mothers and fathers

We play little boys and girls

When we gonna make it work?

I could be happy, I could be quite naive

It's only me and my shadows

Happy in our make believe

Soon...

And with the hounds at bay

I'll call your bluff

Hey...

'Cause it would be okay

To walk on tiptoes everyday

And when I think of you

And all the love that's due

I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand

'Cause to these big brown eyes

This comes as no surprise

We've got the whole wide world in our hands

Advice for the young at heart

Soon we will be older

When we gonna make it work?

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir

Once given

Never forgotten, never let it disappear

This could be our last chance

When we gonna make it work?

Working hour is over

And how it makes me weep

'Cause someone sent my soul to sleep

And when I think of you

And all the love that's due

I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand

'Cause to these big brown eyes

This comes as no surprise

We've got the whole wide world in our hands

We've got the whole wide world in our hands

We've got the whole wide world in our hands

(In our hands)

Advice for the young at heart

Soon we will be older

When we gonna make it work?

Advice for the young at heart

Soon we will be older

When we gonna make it work?

Working hour is over

We can do anything that we want

Anything that we feel like doing

Advice...
