as recorded by
Johnny Mathis 1965



Now we are growing older
We have no time to play
Now we are growing wiser
But are not wise enough to stay

Young and foolish
Why is it 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 wonder
What we were dreaming of
Smiling in the sunlight,
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again.

(bridge)

Smiling through the sunlight
Laughing in the rain
I wish that we were young and foolish again.
