The world was young so many,
must show some traces of change
much laughter, many tears
Have echoed down the years,
the pas t is old and strange
All suns that set, change like the tides
That flow across the sands.
Each little tune that fills our hearts
With vague regret, each little love duet
Don't stray among the moments that have fled,
new words are still un said.
This is a changing world,
New songs are sung, new stars appear.
Though we grow older year by year,
Our hearts can still be gay.
Young love at best is a passing phase,
Charming and foolish and blind.
There may be happier, wiser days,
When youth is far behind.
No regrets are worth a tear,
We're living in a changing world,
This is a changing world, my dear,
Passion's a feckless cavalier,
Who loves and rides away.
Time will persuade you to laugh at grief,
Time is your tenderest friend.
Life may be lonely and joy be brief,
Love is a charming souvenir
When day is done, and night draws near
No regrets are worth a tear
We're living in a changing world,
