MAKE THE WORLD A LITTLE YOUNGER
(Terry Howell / Karen O'Hara / Denny McReynolds)


Shirley Bassey - 1973
Lena Martell - 1974
Baby de Jesus - 1974



When the world was a little younger 
Fairytales were always true 
Every face was filled with laughter 
Every day brought something new

Summertime seemed to last forever 
Friends would come and friends would go 
But their warmth would always linger 
In the days when time ran slow

Make the world a little younger 
Let the laughter in 
Yesterday was filled with magic 
Bring it back again

Make the world a little younger 
Wear a happy face 
When the world's a little younger 
Life's a brighter place

When the world was a little younger 
Love was just a smile away 
There was time for going fishing 
And the games we used to play

Make the world a little younger 
Let the laughter in 
Yesterday was filled with magic 
Bring it back again

Make the world a little younger 
Let the laughter in 
Yesterday was filled with magic 
Bring it back again

Make the world a little younger 
Let the laughter in 
Yesterday was filled with magic 
Bring it back again

Make the world a little younger 
Let the laughter in 
Yesterday was ...... FADE
