(C. Jenkins)

[Recorded April 22, 1965, Hollywood]



How old am I?, I'm old enough to know

The difference between infatuation

And a love that has a chance to grow



How old am I?, I'm not too old to hear

The sweet ring of truth and understanding

When the words "I love you" reach my ear



Don't mind these lines beneath my eyes, they're well-earned souvenirs

Of a thousand nights of laughter and occasional tears

And I hope you won't be jealous of the silver in my hair

It took many lover's quarrels to put it there



How old am I?, you kiss me and I'm young

Love's a road never traveled, life's a song I've never sung

If I make you happy today, I'm the perfect age

As for tomorrow turn the page
