Tears For Fears - Advice for the Young at Heart Lyrics

Advice for the young at heart, soon we will be older
When we're gonna make it work

Too many people living in a secret world
While they play mothers and fathers
We play little boys and girls when we're gonna make it work

I could be happy, I could be quite naïve, it's only me and my shadow
Happy in our make believe, soon
And with the hounds at bay I'll call your bluff, hey
'Cause it would be okay to walk on tiptoes every day

And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
'Cause to these big brown eyes this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands

Advice for the young at heart, soon we will be older
When we're gonna make it work

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir
Once given never forgotten, never let it disappear
This could be our last chance
When we're gonna make it work, working hour is over

And how it makes me weep, 'cause someone sent my soul to sleep

And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
'Cause to these big brown eyes this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands

(We've got the whole wide world in our hands)
(We've got the whole wide world in our hands
