OH VERY YOUNG
(Stevens)
Cat Stevens - 1974


Oh very young 
What will you leave us this time 
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while 
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now 
They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans 
Denim Blue fading up to the sky 
And though you want him to last forever 
You know he never will 
(You know he never will) 
And the patches make the goodbye harder still 

Oh very young 
What will you leave us this time 
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind 
And if you want this world to see a better day 
Will you carry the words of love with you 
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever 
You know you never will 
(You know you never will) 
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still 

Oh very young 
What will you leave us this time 
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while 
Oh very young 
What will you leave us this time
