William Tell – Young At Heart lyrics

She spent her childhood somewhere deep within Missouri
Grew up faster than her heart
Mom said you're a child of God
She said, "But mom, I'm in such a hurry
It might be California, Maybe New York"

'Cause you know we're all young at heart
You've taught me so much and brought me so far
I know you understand
I know you felt like me before
'Cause you know we're all young at heart

They met at his friend's house
It was cigarettes and Edgar Winter
He told her how he'd like to learn to fly
It went from love to worse with a child due in December
She left him with a note in July

It said that we're all young at heart
You taught me so much and brought me so far
I know you understand
I know you felt like me before
'Cause you know we're all young at heart

I know you'd like for me to stay
And you can have it that way
'Cause you never really help me, no
Oh, you can give me so much
But sometimes love is not enough
No, it's not enough for me

She's fifty-four
Felt she needed more than her prescription
Laid there eight days, cold on the floor
Finally, a neighbor called
He said something seems suspicious
They had to break down the door

They found that we're all young at heart
You've taught me so much
And brought me so far
I know you understand
I know you felt like me before
'Cause you know we're all young at heart

Oh, I thought I'd need you
Now I need so much more
I thought I'd found the truth
And now it seems like it's still so far
I sold my heart for the perfect drug
But what's the worse?
Coming down from the love

We're all young at heart
You taught me so much
And brought me so far
I know you understand
I know you felt like me before
'Cause you know we're all young...
