Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo A young man's heart is a'waiting Once there was a fisherman who lived his life at sea One night he wished upon a star in hopes of what could be A voice called through the darkness "one wish I do impart" Oh spirit I beseech you to re-ignite my heart, to re-ignite my heart A bright light flashed before him, then quickly it was gone He woke up the next morning and sang a lover's song He turned his ship toward the shore and sailed on into port 'Cos now within the old man's chest there beat a young man's heart There beat a young man's heart Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo The heart of a young man should never grow old Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo A young man's heart is a'waiting He reached the shore in record time still dreaming of romance He changed into his Sunday best and headed for the dance He walked into the ceilidh and saw her looking so smart 'Twas the fairest brown haired maiden that stole away his heart That stole away his heart He walked up to her boldly not knowing it was gone And took the lassie by the hand. They danced to every song When he asked her for a moonlit walk she said "I must depart" And now he found the empty space that now replaced his heart That now replaced his heart Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo The heart of a young man should never grow old Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo A young man's heart is a'waiting He left the ceilidh quickly not knowing what to do He had the pain of all the years no magic could undo He ran toward his fishing boat and sailed away from port Convinced that he would ne'er again desire a young man's heart Desire a young man's heart He called out rather mournfully "Why was I so naïve" The voice replied "the problem was your heart was on your sleeve In romance you should always keep your horse before the cart 'N old fishermen should be content to keep an old man's heart Don't need a young man's heart" Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo The heart of a young man should never grow old Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo A young man's heart is a'waiting Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo The heart of a young man should never grow old Fai-li-li-lai, fai-li-li-lo A young man's heart is a'waiting A young man's heart is a'waiting
