They listened at the porch that day A story on and on I told them of a life before When days had just begun
All my hopes I told to the sun To the stars and the moon But we just live once
I met him in a crowded time When no one dared to breathe And just with a glimpse of an eye We lay in cross-leaved heath
All my hopes I told to the sun To the stars and the moon But we just live once
I left when autumn came to stay For time was flying by And the trees where growing old Life is too short I was too young You know the days had just begun
All my hopes I told to the sun To the stars and the moon But we just live once
