[Refrain 1]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain 2]
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 better days

[Verse 2]
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
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Will you carry the words of love with you?
Will you ride, will you ride, will you ride?
Ahhh

[Refrain 1]
Oh, very young, what will you leave us this time?
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while

[Outro]
Oh, very young, what will you leave us this time?
