Young and Foolish Lyrics by The Lettermen

Once Upon a Time

0

[Verse 1]
Young and foolish
Why is it wrong to be
Young and foolish?
We haven't long to be

[Chorus]
Soon enough the carefree days
The sunlit days go by
Soon enough the bluebird
Has to fly

[Verse 2]
We were foolish
One day we fell in love
Now, we wonder
What were we dreaming of

[Chorus]
Smiling in the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were
Young and foolish again

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Smiling in the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were
Young and foolish again
