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
