Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never You will never understand the And the beauty of your until they've faded But me, in twenty years You will look back at photos of
And recall in a way you grasp now How possibility lay before you And how fabulous you looked You are not as fat as you
worry about the future or worry that know that worrying Is as as trying to solve an algebra equation By chewing gum The real troubles in life are apt to be things never crossed your worried mind The that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday
Do one thing every day that you, sing Don't be with other peoples' hearts put up with people who are reckless with yours, floss Don't waste time on jealousy you're ahead, sometimes you're behind The race is long and in the end, it's only yourself
Remember you receive, forget the insults If you succeed in this, tell me how Keep your old letters, throw away your old bank statements, stretch Don't feel guilty if you don't know what to do your life
The most people I know didn't at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't Get plenty of Be kind to knees, you'll miss when they're gone
you'll marry, maybe you won't Maybe you'll have children, maybe you you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the "Funky Chicken" On your 75th wedding Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too Or berate either Your are half chance, so are everybody else's
your body, use it every way you can Don't be afraid of it or what people think of it It's the greatest instrument ever own, dance Even if you have nowhere to do it but own living room Read the directions if you don't follow them Do not read beauty magazines, they will make you feel ugly
Brother and sister together make it through Someday a spirit take you and guide you there I know been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you And be there just helping you out, whenever I can
Get to know your parents, you know when they'll be gone for good Be to your siblings, they are your best link to your past And the people most likely to with you in the future Understand friends come and go But a precious few, who hold on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in and lifestyle For as the older you get, the more you the people You knew when you young Live in New City once, but leave before it makes you hard Live in northern California once, but leave it makes you soft
Travel, certain inalienable truths Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too get old And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were Prices reasonable, politicians were noble And children respected elders
Respect your elders, don't expect else to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy But you'll never know when one will run out Don't mess too much with your hair or by the you're forty It look eighty-five Be whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia, it is a way of Wishing the past from the disposal, it off Painting over the ugly parts and recycling for more than it's But me on the sunscreen
and sister together will make it through, oh yeah Someday a will take you and guide you there I know you've been hurting, but been waiting to be there for you And I'll be there just you out, whenever I can
