I was young and foolish,

When I fell in love with you . . .

Not too wise in the ways of the world

Was I . . .

Young and foolish

Were the things I used to do,

Oh what silly tricks I would try!

I've changed my mind about many things,

Things I never knew before . . .

But though I've changed my mind about many things,

As time goes by,

I love you more!

If it was young and foolish,

To fall in love with you,

And to love you with all my heart as I do,

Let me be young and foolish . . .

My whole life through!

( If it was young and foolish,

To fall in love with you,

And to love you with all my heart as I do . . . )

Let me be young and foolish . . .

My whole life through!

I'll be young and foolish . . .

My whole life through!
