Beautiful child

Beautiful child

You are a beautiful child

 And I am a fool once more

You fell in love when I was only ten

 The years disappeared

 Much has gone by since then

 I bite my lip, can you send me away

 You touch, I have no choice

 I have to stay, ooh

Ooooh, I had to stay

Ooooh, I had to stay

Sleepless child

There is so little time

 Your eyes say yes, but you don't say yes

I wish that you were mine

I wish that you were mine

 You say it will be harder in the morning

 I wait for you to say, just go

 Your hands held mine so few hours (I fell into love)

 But I'm not a child anymore

I'm not a child anymore

 I'm tall enough to reach for the stars

 I'm old enough to love you from afar

 Too trusting... yes? But then women usually are

I'm not a child anymore (I'm not a child, oh no)

 I'm tall enough to reach for the stars (I will do as I'm told)

 I'm old enough to love you from afar (even if I never hold you again)

 Too trusting... yes? But women usually are

Hold you again (hold you again)

Sleepless child

There is so little time (I will do as I'm told)

 Your eyes say yes, but you don't say yes (even if I never hold you again)

 I wish that you were mine (hold you again)

 I wish that you were mine (even if I never hold you again)

 Well, I wish that you were mine (hold you again)

 Well, I wish that you were mine

I'm not a child anymore
