New Rendezvous

Jandek


You're only as young as your heart
Though the years pass on and on 
If it's new and you grow 
With each moment 
And the air and the vision 
You see out your eyes 
Change in a wonderful way 
Then the times are well spent 
And the gifts are all around 
And your eyes light up 
And the day is a new rendezvous 
Then you're only as young as your heart 
Your steps are light as a feather 
You're walking on clouds, you know 
You've gained and you've lost 
And you still come around 
With a gift and a word to the wise 
You're only as young as your heart 
There's times I know you feel lonely 
For the friends who've passed you on by 
But be free and you'll see 
That it only comes to be 
Another way back to your heart 
And in that place you'll find 
A happy way to exist 
Where this one and that one you meet 
Are a lot better off than before 
So be thankful for all that you've got 
And you'll get much more than you had 
For there's dreams, there's schemes and things planned 
And they all have nothing in mind 
You're only as young as your heart
