I Saw My Youth Today
I saw my youth todayHe passed me in the streetAs he walked by I stood frozenOn my dreaming feetHe had a kinder faceThe kind I've learned to hideBehind these cold unyielding stonesThat used to be my eyesA moment please my boyDon't you know my name?Do you remember whenWe used to play a hundred games?Is your mother well?Kiss her once for meAnd if she should ask you whyWhy you could sayJust for no reasonRemember that old trollThat lived inside the tree?He was never dangerousThat's just the way it seemedThe day you climbed the treeAnd ran to show me howThe troll was never seen againSongtexteSo where could he be now?A moment please my boyDon't you know this face?Do you remember whenI used to let you win the races?Please don't run awayI did not mean to scare youI'm the one who taught youYou should never talk to strangersIs your mother well?Kiss her once for meAnd if she should ask you whyWhy you could sayJust for no reason Aus Songtexte Mania
