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
