When I was small and Christmas trees were tall We used to love while others used to play But I won't ask me why the time has passed us by Someone else moving 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, how long we'll never die Guess who cried, confess the man The apple tree that grew for you and me I watched the apples fall one by one And I recall the moment all alone 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, how long we'll never die Guess who cried, confess the man Now we are tall And Christmas trees are small And you don't ask the time of day But you and I, how long we'll never die Guess who cried, confess the man When I was small and Christmas trees were tall But I won't ask me why the time has passed us by Someone else moving from far away
