Oh very young

what will you leave us this time

you're only dancing on this earty

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 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 sill

oh very young

what will you leave us this time

you're only dancing on this earth

for a short while

oh very young

what will you leave us this time
