[Intro]
An age of innocence ago
I thought that lovers never die
But like the everlasting sky
Go on and on
But now I'm old enough to know
That life is just a summer flower
That lives a tiny little hour
And soon is gone

[Verse 1]
Who, when my life is through?
Who will know the joys
I have known with you?
Who will touch your face?
Sleep in your embrace?
Who will take my place
When I sleep alone?

[Verse 2]
Who, when the day is done?
Who will hold the hand
Of my pretty one?
Who will climb the heights?
Finding in your nights
All those wild delights
Only I have known
[Bridge]
You say you’ll always love me
That time has another claim
Why do the gods above me
Play the cynical game?

[Verse 3]
Life, isn't what it seems
Fickle as the wind
As fragile as dreams
When I end my years
Who will ease your pain?
Kiss away your tears?
And bury me again?

[Outro]
Why do the gods above me
Play the cynical game?
Life, isn't what it seems
Fickle as the wind
As fragile as dreams
When I end my years
Who will ease your pain?
Kiss away your tears?
And bury me again?
