The lyrics sung on the recording are below:
You make me feel so young,
You make me feel so spring has sprung,
And ev’ry 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 should be flung.
And even when I’m old and gray
I’m going to feel the way I do
today, ’Cause, you make me feel so
young.
(Instrumental)
You and I
Are just like a couple of tots,
Running across the meadow,
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots.
’Cause you make me young,
Give me songs to be sung,
Feel like bells should 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, You make me feel so,
You make me feel,
I feel so young.
