The World Is For The Young
(Gouldman) Gloria: Looking in the mirror last night, My grey hair turned to black. Looking in the mirror last night Pleasant memories came back. Why, I remember back when i was seventeen And all the things i wanted to do The world was new. Tulip: The world is for the young C'mon, we're on our way. Its a wonderful place. What we done and what we're going to do. Then we'll have changed it's face. Mr Brown: Searching through some papers last night A sweet scent filled the air. It came from the letter i found And a lock of dark hair. It belonged to a girl who was in love with me. And she written that without me, she'd die. Mrs Brown: I wonder why? Mrs Brown: Looking through an album last night SongtexteI came acrossed a snap. That showed a handsome youth With a girl sitting on his lap. "Valentino?" i thought, with his sleeked black hair, And Mary Pigford was on his knee. But it was me! Mr & Mrs: The world is for the young But they'll soon find out When they come to explore, The strange new lands of expirience. But we've been there before. Mr: Trying to recapture the past Only makes me regret. The passing of an age and all the people that i've met. Gloria: A ride on a tram on the upper deck, With a boy with a Fairbanks moustache. We were so rash. All: The world is for the young It was always so. Mr, Mrs, Gloria: It's not ours anymore But, they'll find out when they follow us. 'cause we've been there before. Aus Songtexte Mania
