(Gouldman)<br />

<br />

Gloria: Looking in the mirror last night,<br />

My grey hair turned to black.<br />

Looking in the mirror last night<br />

Pleasant memories came back.<br />

Why, I remember back when i was seventeen<br />

And all the things i wanted to do<br />

The world was new.<br />

<br />

Tulip: The world is for the young<br />

C'mon, we're on our way.<br />

Its a wonderful place.<br />

What we done and what we're going to do.<br />

Then we'll have changed it's face.<br />

<br />

Mr Brown: Searching through some papers last night<br />

A sweet scent filled the air.<br />

It came from the letter i found<br />

And a lock of dark hair.<br />

<br />

It belonged to a girl who was in love with me.<br />

And she written that without me, she'd die.<br />

Mrs Brown: I wonder why?<br />

<br />

Mrs Brown: Looking through an album last night<br />

I came acrossed a snap.<br />

That showed a handsome youth<br />

With a girl sitting on his lap.<br />

<br />

"Valentino?" i thought, with his sleeked black hair,<br />

And Mary Pigford was on his knee.<br />

But it was me!<br />

<br />

Mr & Mrs: The world is for the young<br />

But they'll soon find out<br />

When they come to explore,<br />

The strange new lands of expirience.<br />

But we've been there before.<br />

<br />

Mr: Trying to recapture the past<br />

Only makes me regret.<br />

The passing of an age and all the people that i've met.<br />

<br />

Gloria: A ride on a tram on the upper deck,<br />

With a boy with a Fairbanks moustache.<br />

We were so rash.<br />

<br />

All: The world is for the young<br />

It was always so.<br />

<br />

Mr, Mrs, Gloria: It's not ours anymore<br />

But, they'll find out when they follow us.<br />

'cause we've been there before.
