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're wondering
What we were dreaming of
Smiling in the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again
We were foolish
One day we fell in love
Oh now we're wondering
What we were dreaming of
Smiling in the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again"
