Mel Tormé - You Make Me Feel So Young (Live 1996)



[Intro]
I've heard it said that youth is wasted on the young
That's an old cliche, and it may be true
I guess it all depends on your point of view
If you've a head that isn't made of lumber
You'd know that age is just a number
If only I could really believe that
And any time I'm feeling ancient, all I have to do
Is take one look at you
A-one, two, three

[Verse 1]
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Like a toy balloon

[Bridge]
You and I, we're just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
[Verse 2]
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel like I do today
'Cause you make me feel so...[Scatting]

You make me feel so young
You make me feel that spring has sprung
[Scatting]

You make me feel so fine
You make each day a Valentine
[Scatting]

[Bridge]
You and I, we're just like a couple of kids
Running along the seashore
Kicking up sand and flipping our lids

[Outro]
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'll feel like I do today
'Cause you make me feel so
You make me feel so
You make me feel so young
I feel that spring has sprung
And there are songs to be sung
[Scatting]
You make me feel so young
Yeah
[Outro dialogue]
Thank you so much
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
Good evening, it is an absolute joy to see you tonight
Thank you so much for being with us
This song was written, not in America, but in England
It's a beautiful song and very romantic
And I think it deserves to be heard one more time
