WHEN HEARTS ARE YOUNG
From the Broadway Musical "The Lady In Ermine" (1922)



Ah, love, what do you want with me
Give me a heart that's light and happy
Young and fancy free
Oh, no, fortunate you will be
If you escape the heartaches
I've in store for thee

When hearts are young
When love's a star, a song unsung
A magic land that gleams afar
We feel its truth, it's voice allures
And youth calls youth
Saying, "Take me, I am yours"

When hearts are young
When love's a star, a song unsung
A magic land that gleams afar
We feel its truth, it's voice allures
And youth calls youth
Saying, "Take me, I am yours"

as recorded by Perry Como
with Mitchell Ayres' Orchestra & Chorus
November 15th 1960 New York


When hearts are young,
When love's a star,
A song unsung,
A magic land that gleams afar.
We feel its truth,
It's voice allures,
And youth calls youth,
Sayin', "Take me, I am yours!"

(When hearts are young,
When love's a star,
A song unsung,
A magic land that gleams afar)
We feel its truth,
It's voice allures,
And youth calls youth,
Sayin', "Take me, I am yours!"
(Sayin', "Take me, I am yours!")
When hearts are young!
