My wife said that i never composed a song for her. That was my answer...

When i was a young boy
I thought i had all the time of my life
To feel the sun upon my shoulders
The birds and the trees where friends i could always, always rely on
They told me to stay away, don't grow

Now i understand
What i've really learned in all that world, so cold

Now i am an old boy
The time's getting short
I must run real fast
Prepare myself to come back home
But when i look deep inside your green and shiny eyes
The fear, the pain, the tears are gone

Now i understand
What i've really learned in all that world, so warm

I woke up this morning
And you're still sleeping by my side
Now i know i have the time i want
