Richard Carpenter - Youth lyrics

[Verse 1] Boy, when I left you you were young I was gone, but not my love You were clearly meant for more Than a life lost in the war [Pre-Chorus] I want you to be happy Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine Funny friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit dappy [Chorus] Fly Feel your mother at your side Don't you know you got my eyes I'll make you fly You'll be happy all the time I know you can make it right [Verse 2] Boy, now your life is back-to-front But you'll see thats not for long 'Cause I know you'll feel the ghost Of some memories so warm [Pre-Chorus] Boy, I want you to be happy Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine Funny friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit dappy [Chorus] Fly Feel your mother at your side Don't you know you got my eyes I'll make you fly You'll be happy all the time I know you can make it right [Pre-Chorus] Boy, I want you to be happy Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine Funny friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit dappy [Chorus] Fly Feel your mother at your side Don't you know you got my eyes I'll make you fly You'll be happy all the time I know you can make it right I'll make you... [Pre-Chorus] Boy, I want you to be happy Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine Funny friends that make you laugh And maybe you're just a little bit... Oh oh oh
