Young Again

(for my grandchildren)


When I look through your eyes, 

I see a world full of surprise.  

I see a bright star shining.  

I see a beautiful bird gliding.


I see the world brand new 

When I’m with wonderful you,  

My heart’s a high flying kite,  

Floating on the wind-

So free, so light, and I am young again.  


When I listen through your ears, 

I hear the sound of children laughing. 

I hear happy, cheerful clapping.  


I see the world brand new 

When I’m with wonderful you,  

My heart’s a high flying kite,  

Floating on the wind -

So free, so light, and I am young again. 


When I touch through your hands,  

I feel the grains of sand slipping.  

I feel the water cool and rippling.  


I know I can’t go back to way back when,  

But when I’m with you, I’m young again.  

Everything is possible.  

Dreams can still come true. 

When I see the world,

Through beautiful, wonderful you-

Beautiful, wonderful you-

Beautiful, wonderful you.
