"While We're Young" is a 1943 song with music composed by Alec Wilder and Morty Palitz, to lyrics by Bill Engvick, which was popularized by Don Cherry, Tony Bennett and other artists.[1] Wilder quoted his Algonquin neighbour, James Thurber, as saying that Engvick's lyrics to "While We're Young" was "the finest piece of English writing he knew".[2] The lyric Thurber refers to begins: {{quote|We must fulfill This golden time When hearts awake So shyly, Softly.Songs were made to sing While we're young.
