From childhood's hour i have not been
as others were..... i have not seen...

Like the tree needs the earth,
like the night needs the moon...

You are mine,
but i don't think about you...

Why does why,
something mean good-bye...

God, please help us to be strong,
when our love one leave us...

I entered the armed services,
while you were still around...

From childhood's hour i have not been
as others were..... i have not seen...
