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 yo u speak
I want to go play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon.
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Runnin' across a meadow
Pickin' 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
You make me feel so young.
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
You make me feel so...
You make me feel so...
You make me feel so young.
Notes:
This song/lyrics derive from the 1946 20th Century Fox musical 'Three
Little Girls in Blue'. In this movie, the song was performed by Charles
Smith and Vera-Ellen (voices dubbed by Del Porter and Carol Stewart).
Directed by H. Bruce Humberstone
Leads: June Haver / George Montgomery / Vivian Blaine / Vera-Ellen
/ Celeste Holm
Dick Haymes was one of the first 'out of the blocks' with this song
after the movie was released but Frank Sinatra is generally held to be
the one who popularized it.
As one of the creators, Mack Gordon was a Polish born American and a
vaudeville actor and singer. He wrote such well known songs such as
AT LAST
I'M MAKING BELIEVE
and
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
The other creator, Josef Myrow was a Russian born composer who
accumulated several Academy Award nominations during his career.
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG was also released as the 'A' side of a
45 rpm disk in 1959. The 'B' side was Gershwin's BUT NOT FOR ME
