Young And Foolish

Once we were foolish children

Playing as children play

Racing through a meadow, April bright

Dreaming on a hilltop half the night

Now that we're growing older

We have no time to play

Now that we're growing wiser

We are not wise enough to stay

Young and foolish

Why is it wrong to be

Young and foolish?

We haven't long to be

Soon enough, the carefree days

The sunlit days go by

Soon enough, the bluebird has to fly

We were foolish

One day we fell in love

Now we wonder

What were we dreaming of

Smiling in the sunlight

Laughing in the rain

I wish that we were young and foolish again
