Youth Is Wasted - Reeve Carney

Cry for me

Sing of our forgotten dreams

A ballad for the ones that we’ve forsaken long ago

Limousines, sunny skies, and diamond rings

Don’t you know the siren sings for us and all we know?

I feel it on the corner of my sight

I wanted you back here late at night

I feel your apparition at my side

Don’t tell me it’s over 'til the light

The youth is wasted on the young

And wisdom’s wasted on the old

Darling, don’t you know it’s true?

Ho-o-o-o-ooo

So, fly with me

Heaven is the place to be

'cause love is falling fast asleep for those who dream alone

Insanity is just a kind of vanity

The pride is at the heart of everything we’re thought to know

But, I feel it on the corner of my sight

I wanted you back here late at night

I feel your apparition at my side

Don’t tell me it’s over 'til the light

Oh, the youth is wasted on the young

And wisdom’s wasted on the old, uh-ooh

Don’t you know it’s true?

Ho-o-o-o-ooo

Sunny skies and diamond rings

Aaaaaaah

The touches of celebrity

Oooooooh

To be the one to hold you while you’re new — ooooh

Oooooooh

Oooh aaaah

Oo-o-o-o-ooo

Oh, the youth is wasted on the young

Say it again

And wisdom’s wasted on the old

Don’t you know it’s true?

Ho-o-o-o-ooo

I feel it on the corner of my sight

I wanted you back here late at night

To feel your apparition at my side

And tell me it’s over, just close your eyes

Oh, the youth is wasted on the young

And wisdom’s wasted on the old, woo-oo

Don’t you know it’s true?

Ho-o-o-o-ooo

Don’t cry for me

Just sing of our forgotten dreams

A ballad for the ones that we’ve forsaken long ago

Ooh

Oh
