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,
Laughing in the rain,
I wish that we were
Young and foolish again!
