Nino Rota - What is a youth

What is a ^F#myouth? Impetuous ^Gfire. What is a ^F#mmaid? Ice and ^Emdesire. The world wags ^Bmon

^BmComes a time when ^Gone sweet smile ^F#mHas its season ^Emfor awhile ^GThen Love’s in love wit^F#mh me

^DSome may think only to ^Gmar-^Dry. ^EmOthers will ^Gtease and ^Dtar-^Ary. ^DMine is the very best ^Gpar-^Dry, ^EmCupid he ^Grules us ^F#7all.

^BmCaper the ^F#7caper; ^Bmsing me the ^F#7song ^DDeath will come ^Asoon to ^Dhush us ^Aalong ^BmSweeter than ^F#7honey and ^Bmbitter as ^Agall, ^DLove is a ^Atask and it ^Bmnever will ^F#7pall. ^BmSweeter than ^F#7honey and ^Bmbitter as ^Agall, ^DCupid he ^F#7rules us ^Bmall.

A rose will ^F#mbloom, it then will ^Gfade So ^Emdies th^F#me youth. So ^Bmdies the ^F#mfairest ^Bmmaid.
