Young and Foolish lyrics

(When you're young,

when you're, oh so very young,

you're doing foolish things

older folks don't understand.

And you'd like to feel on

every single ride up

it's the end.)

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 we were dreaming of.

Smiling in the sunlight,

laughin' in the rain,

I wish that we were

young and foolish again.

Ah, young and foolish!

~~~~~

Young and foolish!

~~~~~

Soon enough, the carefree days,

the sunlit days go by.

Soon enough, bluebirds

have to fly.

We were foolish,

one day we fell in love.

Now we wonder

what we were dreaming of.

Smilin' in the sunlight,

laughin' in the rain,

I wish that we were

young

and foolish again.
