Young and Foolish
Embracing Youthful Folly: Tony Bennett's Timeless Reflection
Lyrics
Young and foolish
Youthful and lacking wisdom or experience
Why is it wrong to be
Questioning the societal notion that being young and inexperienced is inherently wrong
Young and foolish
Reiterating the state of being youthful and lacking wisdom
We haven't long to be
Expressing the fleeting nature of youth
Soon enough the carefree days
Describing the passing of carefree, joyful times
The sunlit days go by
Highlighting the passage of time
Soon enough the bluebird has to fly
Referencing the departure of happiness or freedom
We were foolish
Admitting to being naive or lacking wisdom
One day we fell in love
Recalling the experience of falling in love during youth
Now we wonder
Reflecting on past experiences and questioning their significance
What were we dreaming of
Questioning the nature of dreams or aspirations from the past
Smiling in the sunlight
Depicting joyful moments in favorable conditions
Laughing in the rain
Emphasizing joy in various situations, including adverse ones
I wish that we were
Expressing a desire to return to the state of being young and inexperienced
Young and foolish again
Reiterating the wish to relive youthful and naive moments
Smiling in the sunlight
Recapturing the sentiment of happiness in favorable conditions
Laughing in the rain
Continuing to emphasize joy in different situations, wishing for a return to youth
I wish that we were
Expressing a longing to return to the state of being young and lacking wisdom
Young and foolish again
Reiterating the desire to relive youthful and naive moments
