Lyrics
An age of innocence ago,
I thought that lovers never die,
But like the everlasting sky,
Go on and on;
But now I’m old enough to know
That life is just ae summer flow’r
That lives a tiny little hour
And soon is gone.

CHORUS
Who, when my life is through,
Will know the joys
I have known with you?
Who will touch your face,
Sleep in your embrace,
Who will take my place
When I sleep alone?
Who, when my day is done,
Who will hold the hand
Of my pretty one?
Who will climb the heights,
Finding in your nights
All those wild delights
Only I have known?
You say you’ll always love me,
Time has another claim,
Why do the gods above me
Play this cynical game?
Life isn’t what it seems,
Fickle as the wind,
As fragile as dreams,
When I end my years,
Who will ease your pain,
Kiss away your tears
And bury me again?
