Young At Heart! Ukulele cover with chords - Frank Sinatra - Rosemary Clooney - Tony Bennett

Young At Heart! A lovely popular song, written in 1953 by Johnny Richards, with words by Carolyn Leigh. Frank Sinatra was the first to record it, and it was a massive hit for him. And since then, it's been recorded by virtually everyone: Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Connie Francis, Shawn Colvin...Tom Waits! And on and on!
My friend and I were talking about aging recently, when this song popped into my head. Yes...I continue to get older, chubbier, and the lines keep getting deeper. But...I really do feel that, as long as I'm young at heart... open, playful, and as kind as I can be...this is what matters in the end. So...forget the botox, forget the radical diets, forget the worry. I feel really grateful to be alive, and I'm gonna let the chips fall where they may!
I pulled this one together very last minute, so it's a little clunky. Still...I hope you'll enjoy this lovely old tune, with it's lovely sentiments!
