Little boy go ride the pale horse in the park Count the golden butterflies and stay out till dawn Never mind the grownups who sing their old song So long stay well Love was here, now it's gone Little boy, you're older, keep life while you can Happy days and holidays so soon escape man Soon you'll be a grownup and sing your old song So long stay well Love was here, now it's gone Little boy, your youth and the summer is done You've got the sunset, though you've lost the sun Now you are a grownup, so sing your old song So long stay well Love was here, now it's gone Little boy go ride the pale horse in the park Count the golden butterflies and stay out till dawn Never mind the grownups who sing their old song Some other autumn will right all the wrongs So long stay well Love was here, now it's gone
