Oh Very Young
by Cat
Stevens
Oh very young
What will you leave us
this time
You're 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 daddy's best jeans
Denim blue fading up to
the sky
And though you want
them to last forever
You know they never
will
You know they 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
