It brings me sadness

Just remembering getting home

From a tiring day of work

She would hold me very tight

And kiss me tenderly

We sat awhile, and she'd tell me all the news

How she took the kids to school

And she found them at the zoo

Thorowing peanuts to the bears

Oh, this remembrance keeps reflecting on my mind

When the days ran calm and fine

And I had her by my side

Swearing love eternally

But, hey! How could I know

Love was to go after all this time?

Hey! How could I see

She would leave me after all this time?

Little by little our sky was getting darker

Our dreams were running farther

Smiles becoming harder, in the distance of us two

Our loving glaces very rarely they were meeting

We were always, always fleeing

From a love we felt was ending

Still we never said a word

But, hey! How could I know

Love was to go after all this time?

Hey! How could I see

She would leave me after this time?

Then one fine morning with a torn and aching heart

We decided we should part

For it was late to restart

A love that never was

I still can picture: You were standing at the railing

Saw your taxi that was waiting

Held a tear when you were waving your very last good-bye

The kids were with me as your taxi drove away

I had nothing more to say

So I put them all to sleep
