I absolutely love the lyrics to this song. It's such a shame that this genre of music doesn't get the respect that it used to. Songs back then had so much meaning and were filled with valuable life lessons that people from all walks of life can follow. This song in particular is a special one for me, it's one of my all time favorite by Sinatra. Simple, yet so incredibly powerful!
As a 69 year old dude I'm happy to testify! Yeah Frankie's voice is great but this song is such awesome life advice. You will receive no better advice today than this song.
I spent my childhood listening to Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and so many more thanks to grandmother. She used to play her old records every Sunday as she cleaned the house 💜 I can't thank her enough for that
Me too. My great-grandmother sang this song at her 95th birthday. She passed away 6 years ago (she was 98), but this song always makes me think of her.
Olivia, One day, you will not cry and then perhaps a hint of a smile will come upon your face. At that moment, you will get it. Perhaps a way to accelerate not crying when you hear this song is to be present (focused outside and not thinking about her) to life meaning whats outside of you. Just be present to what's outside of your head, that is, out here.
The Beautiful Lyrics to print out: Fairy tales can come true 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 And love is either in your heart or on it's way 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 being 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 being alive And here is the best part, you have a head start If you are among the very young at heart
Especially for hostages, everything in their life has to be under the category of "as if" and most basic traditional practices and Rights should be considered 'fairytale' or 'Regal' thing in the case or life of certain hunted hostages 💔. (Which is better for the work of many sorcery and energy harvesting agendas 🔋🍴) #birth lottery -(dehumanized for being born outside the US)- #the political correctness and different propagandas still claim that all people are the same and treated equally and fairly 💔 #certain lives -(emotions)- are not as valuable #modern Babylon #depopulation agendas #Helen's women market #my main owner Helen got paid by the UN to Smartly torture me and hold me hostage in the solitary confinement of the open concentration camps for more than a decade against my wishes -(expressed by endless objections and demands)- , her declared work policies and claims, and my Rights..etc
So beautiful and now I think about it.... I heard this for the first time aged 7 round my Pops and Grandmas house. Best advice I ever got was in this song....and that’s for a lifetime.
Beautiful and touches your heart! One of my favourites when I was a teenager...until now! I 've spent an hour looking for the words of this song.. And then... I thought about Google! Now I've started singing it again because this song is everything! We live a better life and share it with our family and friends... Thank you to Frank Sinatra and Doris Day who have made A better life and future dreams to come true!!! Being an English teacher, I'll share it with my students. We'll have a better life dreaming of a better future!!! Martha
absolutely gorgeous. oh, how far popular American music has fallen since the days when Frankie and Nat and Tony B. were the kings of mainstream music. thank the gods for the recorder.
Years ago, I sang this song to an elderly gentleman. After I have finished the song, he had tears in his eyes. He said his Dad was very healthy but one day while working in the garden, he collapsed...at the age of 105....I met this man for the first time in my life.....thank you, Ole Blue Eyes....
Any movie with this marvel...Is already a classic...Frank the complete crooner. I Need to see a couple dancing this as their first dance as a married couple. Really i need it.
I'm 70 yo and have been humming this all day! Looking forward to what's next. just helped my active friend celebrate 100 years! She's young at heart ❤️
This song reminds me of my Grandpa Bill, my best friend. Enjoy them...what I would give to hear his voice just one more time! But, I have the most incredible memories of our time together. He loved me unconditionally!!!
This song was a very sweet part of my life as a child. My Mother played this often and both she and my Father would sing it on different occasions. Thank you for sharing this wonderful song.
Young hearts beat a different drum Who come with a smile and a hum With some strength to go the length They work their way out of the slum Young hearts chewing on their gum
From the movie of the same name with Doris Day. This was also used in the movie "It Could Happen to You" during a baseball game. The audience got up and cheered!
Hugh Jones That’s exactly how I heard this song in the first place! It was on vhs and this song, when I heard it, it stuck in my head. Sometimes I just listen to this and feel okay, that experiencing life itself is beautiful and it’s okay to not have the answers to everything right now, it’ll come to me in time. It’s a very optimistic song and it still has power today.
Yee ol Frankie...… 'blue eyes' new how to swing it; he had his own timing and it worked so well. Pure magic. Wonderful advise: stay young at heart and you well may survive to 105! Cheers All
They literally don't make them like this any more. A 2020 New Yorker article cited this song to demonstrate that. In 1953, recordings were made with a performer and an orchestra together, with each sound authentically from the singer and the instruments. The article mentioned that you can hear a snare drum here although I do not make it out. When Phil Spector and the Wall of Sound came in, sounds on a recording could come from anywhere and certainly not an accurate representation of the people and instruments being recorded together. We shall not see the likes of this again.
Currently in a commercial by UC (University of Colorado) Health. Concerns an old geezer getting back in shape to run a race (1k, 5K, who knows?). Tear jerker ending! Mahalo, Gracias, Vielen Dank!
Im 20 and ive always been a huge michael bublè fan and for some reason now im kinda starting to get into Sinatra, at least im exploring his music and its kinda hitting with me
I sense that this song started out as a lively bebop tune and the lyricist got Richards to slow it down and purify the melody to make it a very lilting ballad. Kudos to Leigh!
Never being a Sinatra fan, I guess I dismissed this song at the time, years later after watching the Movie, "It Could Happen To You" I realized how good it is.... I actually have it by a singer called Sammy Salvo, and really like his version also.... I guess as you grow older appreciation for certain songs and singers can change. There have been a number of nice versions of this song by different singers over the years.
Finally this is basically the original version.. or quite close to it.. sounds close to what my Grandmother had on 78, think it came out on Capitol in 1950.
Who become one young at heart March them to a different drum Who come with a smile and a hum With some strength go the length Young at heart drinking there rum
My late dad said this is what he thought of when he learned he'd be a dad bc he had 2 kids in high school & was a "grandpa" age! Yep-I was the "later in life" baby I spoke of! LOVE the film too! The lyrics are very wise advice. As "Auntie Mame" said--"Life's a banquet but most poor suckers are starving to death!" This song, & the movie, always bring me to tears--of joy! Te Amo Dad.

True !
100% Agree with you..
Timeless !!!
Agree completely with the life lessons remembering my grandmother teaching me about people thru “swinging on a star not frank but classic
2:15 “and if you should survive to 105” He didn’t make it but Sinatra would be 105 today
As a 69 year old dude I'm happy to testify! Yeah Frankie's voice is great but this song is such awesome life advice.
You will receive no better advice today than this song.
I am also 69 Robert. I agree with you. Great advice.
69 years old on RUclips?🤔......
THAT’S BADASS
Robert Nolan should survive too a 105 love this song I'm a 13 year old and a very happy grandfather 💓 a a nice day
Happy to give you your 71st thumbs up, now that you're 71. Congats form a young...ish 68 year old.
This song is actually almost biblical or at least the message in it is.
I spent my childhood listening to Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and so many more thanks to grandmother. She used to play her old records every Sunday as she cleaned the house 💜 I can't thank her enough for that
I cry every time I hear this song. My grandmothers funeral held this song as her montage and it just gets to me every time.
bittersweet, you'll see her again, stay young at heart eh, she is
Olivia Wilson me too
Me too. My great-grandmother sang this song at her 95th birthday. She passed away 6 years ago (she was 98), but this song always makes me think of her.
Olivia, One day, you will not cry and then perhaps a hint of a smile will come upon your face. At that moment, you will get it. Perhaps a way to accelerate not crying when you hear this song is to be present (focused outside and not thinking about her) to life meaning whats outside of you. Just be present to what's outside of your head, that is, out here.
I bet she was an amazing woman
Why do I feel like lightly floating around the room when I hear this song? ❤️💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
The Beautiful Lyrics to print out:
Fairy tales can come true
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
And love is either in your heart or on it's way
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 being 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 being alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
Thank you
Love as if you've never been hurt.
... thanks

Songs like these, from the crooners, will never grow old.

So beautiful and now I think about it.... I heard this for the first time aged 7 round my Pops and Grandmas house. Best advice I ever got was in this song....and that’s for a lifetime.
brings back memories of my Grandpa and Grandma. Good times :)
+Kendallschmidtscutie I'm visiting mine right now and playing this song for them!
Kendallschmidtscutie truly beautiful
Kendallschmidtscutie 😥😥😥😥😥😫😫
Kendallschmidtscutie she should survive to a 105
Wow...me, too. I think of my Grandpa when I listen to this song. I actually think about him all of the time...he was my best friend!!!

My all time favorite song ever.... cant find music like this anymore these days
Love you, Dad and Mom, for showing me so much beauty, including Sinatra's impeccable voice and style.
Same sentiments exactly, Ed. My parents showed me all the great singers when I was a kid...mostly Italians...buy heyyyy! Ciao!
same
absolutely gorgeous. oh, how far popular American music has fallen since the days when Frankie and Nat and Tony B. were the kings of mainstream music. thank the gods for the recorder.
I heard about Sinatra around middle school and fell in love. To this day his voice sooths me. And this song is still one of my favorites.
Years ago, I sang this song to an elderly gentleman. After I have finished the song, he had tears in his eyes. He said his Dad was very healthy but one day while working in the garden, he collapsed...at the age of 105....I met this man for the first time in my life.....thank you, Ole Blue Eyes....
Frank really was the VOICE he made every song come alive (have one for me Frank up there)
The best Sinatra song ever!!
Absolutely spot on life advice. And sung so beautifully..
I send this rendition to my daughter Emily Kate yesterday on her 21st Birthday...I hope she takes it in and never forgets it!
My grandmothers favourite song, she passed away listening to this ❤️
What a voice....listen to this! ...Pure Sinatra.
If Frank had survived to 105 he'd still be with us today.
Any movie with this marvel...Is already a classic...Frank the complete crooner. I Need to see a couple dancing this as their first dance as a married couple. Really i need it.
I'm 70 yo and have been humming this all day! Looking forward to what's next. just helped my active friend celebrate 100 years! She's young at heart ❤️
This song reminds me of my Grandpa Bill, my best friend. Enjoy them...what I would give to hear his voice just one more time! But, I have the most incredible memories of our time together. He loved me unconditionally!!!
if you are young at heart you can see life in a very possitive way. I LOVE THIS SONG
I used to sing this song to my babies every night. This is one of my most precious memories.
This song was a very sweet part of my life as a child. My Mother played this often and both she and my Father would sing it on different occasions. Thank you for sharing this wonderful song.
He forever❤
His lyrics are amazingly beautiful
Utterly marvellous.
I was young when this song was on the charts--12 to be exact.
Young hearts beat a different drum
Who come with a smile and a hum
With some strength to go the length
They work their way out of the slum
Young hearts chewing on their gum
You can never wrong with Frank.
A great voice and timing by Sinatra makes this a great song, not to mention the arrangement.
Cannot beat Frank with his clear baritone voice.. Wonderful!!
Oh dear, seems as though pops love for the classics is finally infecting me too.
remember loving this song since childhood. love the arrangement.
2019 and kicking it with some Frankie!!!
Simply wonderful.
From the movie of the same name with Doris Day. This was also used in the movie "It Could Happen to You" during a baseball game. The audience got up and cheered!

Oh the Nick Cage lottery movie.
I like songs that I can understand every word of it. This is one of them
So important to believe in your dreams even if no ones on board
Lovely song, never listen to it before, I love Frankie
One of my favorite songs when I was five years old.
i love oldies!
Yee ol Frankie...… 'blue eyes' new how to swing it; he had his own timing and it worked so well. Pure magic. Wonderful advise: stay young at heart and you well may survive to 105! Cheers All
Growing old is mandatory.
Growing up is optional.

How fortunate I am celebrating my mom's 85th and my dad's 90th birthdays.
Very

Ma chanson préférée de Sinatra; que c'est beau!
A timeless wonderful song for all of us.
As 20 got a very old soul 🙏❤
Reminds me of Mama and Grandma♥️😔
I see everyone saying there here from a commercial. I haven't heard this song in forever. Good to know it's still in use today
Currently in a commercial by UC (University of Colorado) Health. Concerns an old geezer getting back in shape to run a race (1k, 5K, who knows?). Tear jerker ending! Mahalo, Gracias, Vielen Dank!
Im 20 and ive always been a huge michael bublè fan and for some reason now im kinda starting to get into Sinatra, at least im exploring his music and its kinda hitting with me
I sense that this song started out as a lively bebop tune and the lyricist got Richards to slow it down and purify the melody to make it a very lilting ballad. Kudos to Leigh!
Johnny Richards?
I will always love sinatra❤
Fairytales can come true...

Remember my dad used to love this song back then he even have the cassette tape of Frank Sinatra music
This song reminds me when I was little and my baby sister is listening to it.♥️it makes my heart smile♥️

One of his best. Love the film starring him and Doris Day.
Really a treasure. Thank you so much.
This could be a disney song..
Anne Bü It's a possibility.
I thought this is a disney song at first lolol
Aladdin

Honestly, most of Frank Sinatra's songs could be Disney songs.
