Oh Very Young

Written 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 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 time
To change your mind
And if you want the world
To see a better day

Will you carry the word
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
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short time

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time.
