Tom Waits

Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona. He has worked as a composer for movies and musical plays and has acted in supporting roles in films including Paradise Alley and Bram Stoker's Dracula; he also starred in the 1986 film Down by Law.

Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find
To be narrow mind
And young at heart
You can go to extremes
With impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams
Fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting
With each passing day
Love is either in your heart
Or on display
Don't you know it's worth
Every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
And as rich as you are
It's much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive
To a hundred and five
Think of all you'll derive
Of being alive
And this is the best part
You'll have a headstart
If you're among the very young at heart
Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on Earth
To be young at heart
As rich as you are
It's much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive
To a hundred and five
Think of all you'll derive
Of being alive
This is the best part
You'll have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
If you are among the very young at heart
