Lyrics
Primary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white and slowly dreaming
Stops all time
I slow my steps and start to blur
So many years have filled my heart
I never thought I'd say those words
The further we go and older we grow
The more we know, the less we show
The further we go and older we grow
The more we know, the less we show
The very first time I saw your face
I thought of a song
And quickly changed the tune
The very first time I touched your skin
I thought of a story
And rushed to reach the end too soon
Oh, remember
Please, don't change
Please, don't change
Please, don't change
And so the fall came
Thirteen years, a shiny ring
And how I could forget your name
The air no longer in my throat
Another perfect lie is choked
But it always feels the same
So they close together
Dressed in red and yellow
Innocent forever
Sleeping children in their
Blue soft rooms still dream
