Children of Paradise
Norman Greenbaum
Youth, oh, sweet bird of youth
You're flying away from me
Oh, children of paradise
I wish I could be one of you
Years, they're passing so fast
They're so far ahead of me
Oh, children of paradise
I wish I could be one of you
Rompin' o'er the hills and dales
Flying kites in the noon
Toasting marshmallows
By the light of the silvery moon
Rompin' o'er the hills and dales
Flying kites in the noon
Toasting marshmallows
By the light of the silvery moon
Youth, oh, sweet bird of youth
You're flying away from me
Oh, children of paradise
I wish I could be one of you
