Once

Once time has flown by
and the fire of our youth subsides,
perhaps you will remember me
as you listen to our beloved piece.

Perhaps when you look at your children
and see how they look like him,
you wonder what our own would be like,
since our traits are alike.

Perhaps you’ll wish to go back
to the time when we were together,
but then you'll surely say,
"Don't remind me of him, song!"
