Children, it was more fun to be children   We just took life as it happened   Run through the days, don't look behind      Over wink of an eye and it's over   What a surprise to discover   We were people ourselves   What kind of people did we want to be?   No answer ever came to me      I didn't sleep at all last night   Mom, I've come to you like yesterday   About today, mom, I'm afraid      Hon, come and sit by my side   Listen to me, words come so hard   But what my heart says I will give you      Because you are in love   Your eyes begin to open   As if you had awaken from a sleep      Because you are in love   You use imagination   And lose your concentration   When someone drops his name      You're back in his arms as always   Your day dreams work out that way   It's all just a trick you mind plays   The more love grows   The more it says the same      (Same little girl who's frightened)   But I love him so   (Same little girl who's sure)   That she loves him so   (Sees with a woman's vision)   (Knows what a woman knows)      Because we are in love   We reach for our tomorrows   And know we won't be lonely   In laughter and in sorrows      Where love abides   There is the place we'll keep our hope forever   You and I, because we are in love      Because we won't be lonely   In laughter and in sorrows   When love abides   There is the place we'll keep our home forever   You and I, because we are in love
