Youth Is Wasted

(album: Youth Is Wasted - 2016)

Cry for me
Sing of our forgotten dreams
A ballad for the ones that we've forsaken long ago
Limousines, sunny skies, and diamond rings
Don't you know the siren sings for us and all we know?

I feel it on the corner of my sight
I wanted you back here late at night
I feel your apparition at my side
Don't tell me it's over 'til the light

The youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom's wasted on the old
Darling, don't you know it's true?
Ho-o-o-o-ooo

So, fly with me
Heaven is the place to be
'cause love is falling fast asleep for those who dream alone
Insanity is just a kind of vanity
The pride is at the heart of everything we're thought to know

But, I feel it on the corner of my sight
I wanted you back here late at night
I feel your apparition at my side
Don't tell me it's over 'til the light

Oh, the youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom's wasted on the old, uh-ooh
Don't you know it's true?
Ho-o-o-o-ooo

Sunny skies and diamond rings
Aaaaaaah
The touches of celebrity
Oooooooh
To be the one to hold you while you're new ooooh
Oooooooh

Oooh aaaah
Oo-o-o-o-ooo

Oh, the youth is wasted on the young
Say it again
And wisdom's wasted on the old
Don't you know it's true?
Ho-o-o-o-ooo

I feel it on the corner of my sight
I wanted you back here late at night
To feel your apparition at my side
And tell me it's over, just close your eyes

Oh, the youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom's wasted on the old, woo-oo
Don't you know it's true?
Ho-o-o-o-ooo

Don't cry for me
Just sing of our forgotten dreams
A ballad for the ones that we've forsaken long ago

Ooh
Oh
