Your innocence has gone Oh you have lost your sense of wonder Embraced you as you shone But tore your child-like world asunder The led you on and on but they Didn't mean to do you wrong Darling It's your greatest shade of blue Lose it before it bleeds right through So much more than you can do I'm counting on you Now your mother's stately crown Slips to show just what she's thinking While your daddy's losing ground Can't believer his ship is sinking They pushed you on and on Then asked just where did we go wrong If you run now please don't look behind Send them flowers explaining this is the way it was meant to be Darling It's your greatest shade of blue Lose it before it bleeds right through Trade it in for something new I'm counting on you It's your greatest shade of blue Lose it before it bleeds right through So much more than you can do I'm counting on you I'm counting on you I'm counting on you
