Crying softly onto clean white pillow
Watch the clock as it slowly crawls around
Crawls around
Is she sleeping or is she dreaming?
Time it passes without that familiar touch
Familiar touch
Love has gone, tears are here, nothing left
Life has changed, remember when we were young?
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
She pours a coffee, looks in the mirror
Suddenly she’s glad he can’t see her face
Can’t see her face
Youth, it passes while age is collected
Disappears from behind blue eyes without a trace
Without a trace
Love has gone, tears are here, nothing left
Life has changed, remember when we were young?
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
Love has gone, tears are here, nothing left
Life has changed, remember when we were young?
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young (When we were young)
When we were young
How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath, with you, ooh
You′re the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
‘Cause we′ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Oh, there’s just an empty space
And there′s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well, there′s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I′ve got to face
I wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You′re the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And there′s nothin’ left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now
‘Cause there′s just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do
And that′s what I’ve gotta face
Take a good look at me now
′Cause I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It′s the chance I’ve gotta take
Take a look at me now
