My hope lingers on my tounge So I wash it down with the exclamations of being young Oh I'm oh so young! I tell them, watching the setting sun The sun that closes each fleeting day Full of heartbreak that leads the way Of youth to a bitter adulthood of joy and play Of sunny days edged in gray Still summer comes and goes too quick Maybe, we think, this year the feeling will stick But the spring hasn't ended and our eyes are slick The clock still follows its tick, tick, tick

My hope, my fall
My hope lingers on my tounge So I wash it down with the exclamations of being young Oh I'm oh so young! I tell them, watching the setting sun The sun that closes each fleeting day Full of heartbreak that leads the way Of youth to a bitter adulthood of joy and play Of sunny days edged in gray Still summer comes and goes too quick Maybe, we think, this year the feeling will stick But the spring hasn't ended and our eyes are slick The clock still follows its tick, tick, tick
