Well, I'm dancin' in my youth
And you're standing in your grave.
Don't waste your life
To wait for death;
Don't keep your feelings
Locked away.

It's only one step further
Until you reach the end
And when you go
I hope you know
You lived it well, my friend.

Life is but a party
If you choose to live that way.
So sad to see you sitting there
With not much good to say.

Well, I'm dancin' in my youth
And you're standin' in your grave;
Just think of all the fun you missed
While waiting to be saved.

It's all in how you look at life;
Live it the way you choose;
Life was made to live it up
I'd hate to see you lose
Out on all the memories
To look back on when you're old
Happiness is in the hands
Of the youthful and the bold.

So as you die I hope you feel
The life you lived was great;
Don't keep your feelings locked away
Before you know it, it's too late.

There's a girl that you've been dreaming of
She'll walk into your world today.
My God, the last thing
You want to do
Is let her slip away.
Although you're feeling lonely,
You're still feeling kind of shy,
Then why you take your time
That girl walks by with another guy
Can ya' tell me why?
Well, I'm dancin in my youth
And you're standin' in your grave.
