Here is lost paradiseIt's here, it's hereLost paradise, it's hereIt's hereLost paradise, it's hereIt's the toyBroken in the sad child's handThe one loved so dearThe one like goldIt's a sudden end to childhood's wonderlandA spring that's swiftly grown too oldHere is lost paradiseIt's here, it's hereLost paradise it's hereIt's hereLost paradise it's hereIt's the last kissThat's faded on our lipsFrom a first loveThat quickly partedOne praises to the skyOn our knees in worshipAnd there we're leftBroken heartedIt's that which escapes usIn the course of our livesThat cannot be retainedWith no remembranceIt's only melancholy that survivesThrough our painful resonanceIt's happiness which passesAnd leaves us behindWe couldn't hold it forIt was too wholeWe couldn't follow our confidenceUndermined for fear of sinkingBeing out of controlHere is lost paradiseIt's here, it's hereLost paradise it's hereIt's hereLost paradise it's hereIt's a sleepy townOn the edge of the frontierIt's a dead letterOne has read too lateIt's the last love that one believesSincere, a failed rendezvousThat would have sealed our fateHere is lost paradiseIt's here, it's hereLost paradise it's hereIt's hereLost paradise it's here
