No one lives forever
Things change and fade away
Life and death are parts of life
It couldn’t happen any other way
The sweet bird of youth
Carries youthful things away
Making energy and beauty
Just memories of yesterday
You can live life by the numbers
Play it safe every day
Can’t hide from pain and sorrow
Or let joy and love slip away
The sweet bird of youth
Carries youthful things away
Making energy and beauty
Just memories of yesterday
But every age has its gifts
That weren’t there before
With grace and good choices
Wisdom evens up the score
The sweet bird of youth
Carries youthful things away
Making energy and beauty
Just memories of yesterday
Life is an inside job
Gotta take care of your soul
Let your spirit shine on the outside
No matter how life unfolds
The sweet bird of youth
Carries youthful things away
Making energy and beauty
Just memories of yesterday
Of yesterday
