Where has time gone (to our aging parents)New leaves shoot again on old branches The dead tree is in blossom a second spring The words left unsaid for half a life Go into hiding beneath your hair
The girl with lovely little feet And a chubby cute mouth in your memory All your love summoned up for her Just for the honor to be her mum and dad
Where has time gone Which mercilessly placed your soul into the torso of the old Before you make time to contemplate your life Your mind is occupied with children laughing and crying Leaving not a single minute to yourself
Where has time gone There isn’t time for me to repay you Before your eyes are failing Trite and insignificant as your life may appear Secretly, wrinkles have crept up all over your face |
