I can remember one summer so life-like So long ago that it probably wasn't even real Yet a constant longing keeps tormenting my dreams Ignorance is bliss Ignorance is blis All the young ones down there by the waterfront They cannot see the skyline Turning dark above their heads As the black clouds keep gathering around them Looming over like a life-long malediction Ignorance is bliss To suffer, to suffer To suffer and to smile To suffer, to suffer To suffer and to smile To suffer, to suffer To suffer and to smile To suffer, to suffer To suffer and to smile ♪ Ignorance is bliss To suffer, to suffer To suffer and to smile To suffer, to suffer To suffer and to smile To suffer, to suffer To suffer and to smile To suffer, to suffer To suffer and to smile Ignorance is bliss I can remember what a wise man once said to me I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late now It's too late
