Lyrics: 

You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I’m such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You and I are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung and a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I’m old and gray
I’m gonna feel the way I do today
‘Cause you make me feel so young

You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I’m such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You and I are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
And bells to be rung
And a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I’m old and gray
I’m gonna feel the way I do today
‘Cause you, you make me feel so young
You make me feel so young [x2]
Ooh, you make me feel so young
