From the seed of a lifetime
To the harvest years
A girl knows the bitter
And sweet taste of tears

The first love was a green love
It was free and sincere
It ended in heartbreak
And the young taste of tears

Then came the fool's love
Of life's wasted years
Time changes nothing
But the taste of your tears

You pray for a true love
And soon he appears
To share joy and sadness
And the sweet taste of tears
And the sweet taste of tears
