(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,

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.
