[Verse 1]
Cry for me
Sing of our forgotten dreams
A ballad for the ones that we've forsaken long ago
Limousines, sunny skies, and diamond rings
Don't you know the siren sings for us and all we know?

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel it on the corner of my sight
I wanted you back here late at night
I feel your apparition at my side
Don't tell me it's over 'til the light

[Chorus]
The youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom's wasted on the old
Darling, don't you know it’s true?
Ho-o-o-o-ooo

[Verse 2]
So, fly with me
Heaven is the place to be
'cause love is falling fast asleep for those who dream alone
Insanity is just a kind of vanity
The pride is at the heart of everything we're thought to know

[Pre-Chorus]
But, I feel it on the corner of my sight
I wanted you back here late at night
I feel your apparition at my side
Don't tell me it's over 'til the light

[Chorus]
Oh, the youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom's wasted on the old, uh-ooh
Don't you know it's true?
Ho-o-o-o-ooo

[Bridge]
Sunny skies and diamond rings
Aaaaaaah
The touches of celebrity
Oooooooh
To be the one to hold you while you're new - ooooh
Oooooooh

[Guitar solo]
Oooh -- aaaah
Oo-o-o-o-ooo

[Chorus]
Oh, the youth is wasted on the young
Say it again
And wisdom's wasted on the old
Don't you know it's true?
Ho-o-o-o-ooo

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel it on the corner of my sight
I wanted you back here late at night
To feel your apparition at my side
And tell me it's over, just close your eyes

[Chorus]
Oh, the youth is wasted on the young
And wisdom's wasted on the old, woo-oo
Don't you know it's true?
Ho-o-o-o-ooo

[Outro]
Don't cry for me
Just sing of our forgotten dreams
A ballad for the ones that we've forsaken long ago

Ooh
Oh
