Pseudonym

And then you'll see what I'll become

My hair is falling and I'm gray and old

The light of my eyes will soon fade away

Could you try to picture that in mind?

If I would stand, my back will bend

My shoulders won't take that much weight

Everything changes when we are apart

Forgive me; I've just lost my hollow heart

And if, Maria, you saw me like this

You'll see that years hurt as much as feelings

But, Maria, if you realize

Maybe years won't pass us by

As soon as you come I'll be healed enough

Perhaps my youth will be shinning out

In summer we still remain, in spring we sang

In sickness we torn apart, Maria you've conquered my heart

And if, Maria, you saw me like this

You'll see that years hurt as much as feelings

But, Maria, if you realize

Maybe years won't pass us by

And if your mild and sweet eyes have given live to stars

What'd happen with those who have always loved

You, Maria, make me feel knocked down

Please, my darling, hear this song clear and loud

Oh, Maria, it's for you that I sing

You know, darling, years hurt as much as feelings

But, Maria, if you realize

Maybe years won't pass us by
