Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know that something very strange is happening to my brain
I'm either feeling very good or else I am insane
The seeds of doubt you planted have started to grow wild
And I feel that I must yield before the wisdom of a child
[Verse 2]
And it's love you bring
No, that I can't deny
And with your wings
I can learn to fly
Sweet young thing
[Verse 3]
(Sweet young thing)
People try to talk to me, their words are ugly sounds
(Sweet young thing)
I resist all their attempts to try and bring me down
(Sweet young thing)
Turned on to the sunset like I've never been before
(Sweet young thing)
I listen for your footsteps and your knock upon the door
(Sweet young thing)
[Verse 4]
And it's love you bring
No, that I can't deny
With your wings
I can learn to fly
Sweet young thing
[Verse 5]
And it's love you bring
With dreams of bluer skies
And all these things
When I see it in your eyes
Sweet young thing
[Verse 6]
Sweet young thing
