The World Is for the Young(2003 Remaster) - Herman's Hermits/Stanley Holloway

作曲：Graham Gouldman

I was looking in the mirror last night

My grey hair turned to black

I was looking in the mirror last night

Pleasant memories came back

I remember time when i was seventeen

And all the things i wanted to do

The world was new

The world is for the young

Come on we're on our way

Its a wonderful place

What we done and what we're going to do

Then we'll have changed it's face

Searching through some papers last night

A sweet scent filled the air

It came from the letter i found

And a lock of dark hair

It belonged to a girl who was in love with me

And she written that without me she'd die

I wonder why

Looking through an album last night

I came acrossed a snap

That showed a handsome youth

With a girl sitting on his lap

Valentino

i thought with his sleeked black hair

And Mary Pigford was on his knee

But it was me

The world is for the young

But they'll soon find out

When they come to explore

The strange new lands of expirience

But we've been there before

Trying to recapture the past

Only makes me regret

The passing of an age

and all the people that i've met

A ride on a tram on the upper deck

With a boy with a Fairbanks moustache

We were so rash

The world is for the young

It was always so

It's not ours anymore

But they'll find out when they follow us

Cause we've been there before
