Analysis of To Be Young Again
To be young again with flowing, natural, brown hair,
to feel the walk of spring without aches and pains,
to have the heart flutter when dreaming about a crush,
to be able to eat sweets and not worry about weight gain,
to look forward to each day with the idealism of youth,
to be in tune with the moon, sun and heavens,
to catch fire flies in Mason jars,
to make a wish at rainbow's sight,
to see shooting stars and be excited,
to dance fast dances without losing breath,
to stay up all night and talk about youthful things.
Ah, to be young again...
