A song to lift anyone's spirit , especially if your going through hard difficult times , even many setbacks in. Life try to stay positive , look for the sunshine after the rain clear skies after the clouds. Light in darkness , look at the shadows and see they are but illusions , feel once again not in your hearts. , remember happy days , like on the beach , or special birthday when younger find that inner smile once again. Love yourself let love once again find you , especially when your not looking , love and joy through good and bad negative experiences, life is all a learning curve , with infinate possibilities. And potential.try to be positive. , remember you are never alone , your happy memories cannot be taken from you , god bless all , be young no matter what age you are , yes be happy , see Positives , feel them , no matter the condition you have experience 🙏.
Ah god. This is spectacular. I grew up listening to this type of music. Totally loved this. Loved all the dancing, and dancers enjoying themselves. It's great to be able to express oneself like this.

This was my theme song at university. I live where the Tams were based, Atlanta, Georgia U.S.A. The story I heard was that the band couldn't afford matching costumes, but could afford Tam O'Shanter caps, so that became their name and what they wore.

Be young, be foolish, but be happy

Don't let the rain get you down, it's a waste of time
A waste of time
Have your fun, live everyday in the bright sunshine
The bright sunshine
Well, it's the same old story all over the world
Girl meets boy, and boy meets girl
So be young, be foolish, but be happy
Be young, be foolish, but be happy
Don't let love slip away, slip away
Live your life for today, for today
Life is too short to worry about unimportant things
Unimportant things
Reach for the sky, touch your star, and then you find your dream
Find your dream
'Cause dreamin' alone, it's a shame indeed
But if you got love that's all you need
So be young, be foolish, girl be happy
Be young, be foolish, girl stay happy
So be young, be foolish, girl be happy
Be young, be foolish, girl stay happy
So be young, be foolish, girl be happy
Be young, be foolish, girl stay happy
