Lyrics

Young and foolish
Why is it wrong to be
Young and foolish
We haven't long to be
Soon enough the carefree days
The summer days go by
Soon enough a bluebird has to fly
We were foolish
One day we fell in love
Now we wonder
What we were dreamin' of
Smiling in the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again
Smiling in the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again
And foolish again
And foolish again
Written by: Ned Washington, Val Young
