When you were young and your heart was free

I'd run and meet you and rush to see

Just over the wall where the clouds roll by

And age and chance and tears were far away



Oh if heaven wouldn't see

Light lovers so distantly

Then look today at this love so free

When you are young again



When you were young and your eyes are old

Then all your treasures my hand can stroke

And all your memories and your sorrows are loosed

And blown and left so your lips may be touched



Oh if heaven wouldn't see

Light lovers so distantly

Then look today at this love so free

When you are young again
