I Saw My Youth Today
I saw my youth today He passed me on the street As he walked by I stood frozen On my dreaming feet
He had a kinder face The kind I've learned to hide Behind these cold unyielding stones That used to be my eyes
A moment please, my boy Don't you know my name? Do you remember when We used to play a hundred games?
And is your mother well? Kiss her once for me And if she should ask you why Why you could say just for no reason
Remember that old troll Who lived inside the tree? He was never dangerous That's just the way it seemed
The day you climbed the tree Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And ran to show me how The troll was never seen again So where could he be now?
A moment please, my boy Don't you know this face? Do you remember when I used to let you win the races?
Please don't run away I did not mean to scare you I'm the one who told you You should never talk to strangers
And is your mother well? Kiss her once for me And if she should ask you why Why you could say just for no reason
I saw my youth today He passed me on the street As he walked by I stood frozen On my dreaming feet.
