The Young and the Restless theme lyrics

Cotton's Dream (from the 1971 movie Bless the Beasts and the Children). The theme was later retitled Nadia's Theme after Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci used it for her floor exercises in the 1976 Olympics. Written by Barry DeVorzon and Perry Botkin, Jr.,

Original Air Dates: 1973 - (CBS)

Come, dreams of the past
Come with a love that moves so fast
Come, those shiny days
Caught in a young and restless haze

Why did we love then run away
So little time, so much left to say and now its come

Young and Restless dream
You'll never pass this way again
Treat the summer wise.
Reach for the stars while you have time

Your restless dreams will lead the way
So dream your dream and live for each day
