The World Is For The Young

(альбом: Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter - 1968)

[Gloria:]
I was looking in the mirror last night
My grey hair turned to black
I was looking in the mirror last night
And pleasant memories came back
I remember the time when I was seventeen
And all the things that 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
But when we done what we're going to do
Then we'll have changed it's face

[Mr Brown:]
Searching through some papers one day
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
I 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 Brown:]
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
