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
