Once I was young.... Yesterday, perhaps. Danced with Jim and Paul And kissed some other chaps Once I was young But never was naive I though I had a trick or two Up my imaginary sleeve But now I know I was naive.
How lovely to sit here in the shade With none of the woes of main and maid I'm glad I'm not young any more [snip] The fountain of youth is dull as paint Methuselah is my favorite saint I've never felt so confident before Oh I'm so glad That I'm not young Any more!
(Lerner/Lowe, from "Gigi", notably sung by Maurice Chevalier)
They're either too young or too old They're either too gray or too grassy green The pickings are poor and the crop is lean What's good is in the Army What's left will never harm me I'm finding it easy to stay good as gold They're either too young or too old!
(Schwartz/Loesser......a song about how there's no one left to date since all the eligible young guys are at war)
I only know what I know The passing years will show We've kept our love so young, so new And time after time I tell myself that I'm So lucky to be loving you
