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!
