Close your eyes, come with me 
And we soon will be 
In the wonderful world of the young 

Hearts remain 17 
Leaves are ever green 
In the wonderful world of the young 

Fools may deny it; wise men know the truth 
They have discovered that love is youth 

Take this heart that I give 
And we'll always live 
In the wonderful world of the young
