When I was small and Christmas trees were tall We used to laugh while others used to play Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by Someone else moved in from far away Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small And you don't ask the time of day But you and I, our love will never die The girls who cried come first at night The apple tree that grew for you and me I watched the apples falling one by one And I recall the moment of them all The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small And you don't ask the time of day But you and I, our love will never die The girls who cried come first at night When I was small and Christmas trees were tall Do, do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by Someone else moved in from far away
