Cat Stevens - Oh Very Young lyrics

Oh very young<br>What will you leave us this time<br>You're only dancing on this earth for a short while<br>And though your dreams may toss and turn you now<br>They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans<br>Denim blue fading up to the sky<br>And though you want them to last forever<br>You know they never will<br>You know they never will<br>And the patches make the goodbye harder still<br><br>Oh very young<br>What will you leave us this time<br>There'll never be a better chance to change your mind<br>And if you want this world to see a better day<br>Will you carry the words of love with you<br>Will you ride the great white bird into heaven<br>And though you want to last forever<br>You know you never will<br>You know you never will<br>And the goodbye makes the journey harder still<br><br>Oh very young<br>What will you leave us this time<br>You're only dancing on this earth for a short while<br>Oh very young<br>What will you leave us this time
