Youth Is Wasted Lyrics

Cry for me, sing of our forgotten dreams
A ballad for the ones that we'd forsaken long ago
Limousines, Sunny skies and diamond rings
Don't you know the siren sings for us, and alla who know
I feel it on the corner of my side
I wanted you back here, late at night
I feel your apparition at my side
Don't tell me it's over 'till the light
The youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom's wasted on the old
Darling, don't you know it's true
Ooh
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
And pride is at the heart
Of everything we're thought to know
But I feel it on the corner of my side
I wanted you back here, late at night
I feel your apparition at my side
Don't tell me it's over 'till the light
The youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom's wasted on the old
Darling, don't you know it's true
Ooh
Sunny skies and diamond rings
The tortures of celebrity
To be the one to hold you while you're new
The youth is wasted on the young
I'll say it again
And wisdom's wasted on the old,
don't you know it's true
But i feel it on the corner of my side
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
The youth is wasted on the young
and wisdom's wasted on the old
Whoa, Don't you know it's true
Ooh
Don't cry for me
Just sing of our forgotten dreams
A ballad for the ones that we'd forsaken long ago
