Young At Heart
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It can happen to you if you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind if you're young at heart
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
Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth to be young at heart
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 bein' 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 bein' alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
The Rat Pack's "Young at Heart" is a song that encourages listeners not to lose their sense of wonder and curiosity as they grow older. The lyrics are reminiscent of fairy tales, stating: "Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you if you're young at heart." The song suggests that being "young at heart" allows a person to be open-minded and not "narrow of mind." This mentality will enable them to pursue impossible dreams, find joy in life despite its challenges, and experience the excitement of falling in love.
The song further states that it is worth more than any treasure on earth to remain young at heart, regardless of wealth or social status. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace their age and look forward to a long and fulfilling life, even if they should live to a hundred and five. The song ends on a positive note, stating that those who are already young at heart have a head start in life.
