Children, it was more fun to be children We just took life as it happened Run through the days, don't look behind Oh, the wink of an eye and it's over What a surprise to discover We were people ourselves What kind of people did we want to be? No answer ever came to me I didn't sleep at all last night Mom, I've come to you like yesterday How about today? Mom, I'm afraid Honey, come and sit by my side Listen to me, words come so hard But what my heart says I will give you Because you are in love Your eyes begin to open As if you had woken from a sleep Because you are in love You use imagination And lose your concentration When someone drops his flame You're back in his arms as always Your daydreams work out that way It's all just a trick your mind plays The more love grows, the more it stays the same Same little girl who's bright But I love him so Same little girl who's sure That she loves him so She sees with a woman's vision Knows quite a woman knows Because we are in love We reach for our tomorrows And know we won't be lonely In laughter and in sorrows When love abides There's a place we'll keep our hope forever You and I Because we are in love We know we won't be lonely In laughter and in sorrows When love abides There's a place we'll keep our hope forever You and I Because we are in love Because we are in love
