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