A little boy was full of fears,
his world had tumbled into tears,
he was afraid to be alone,
his mother said
´the night will end, day will dawn and be your friend,

and end the nightmare you have known´,
she said,
´as you grow up you´ll find, you´ll leave you childhood fears behind´.

As he said ´yes´ his eyes were smiling,
but he said ´no´ within his heart,
as he said ´yes´ his eyes were smiling,
but he was crying in his heart.

He grew up to be a man, fell in love as young men can,
he asked the girl to be his wife,
she replied ´it cannot be, I never took you seriously,
to soon to settle down for life,
one day I know that you will see a girl you´ll love much more than me´.

As he said ´yes´ his eyes were smiling,
but he said ´no´ within his heart,
as he said ´yes´ his eyes were smiling,
but he was crying in his heart.

Now he´s such a great success,
made a fortune more or less,
he has a wife and family,
nothing else but work it seems,
hasn´t time to dream his dreams,
from worry he is never free,
when people see him passing by,
they say
´there goes a lucky guy´.

As he said ´yes´ his eyes were smiling,
but he said ´no´ within his heart,

as he said ´yes´ his eyes were smiling,
but he was crying in his heart.
As he said ´yes´ his eyes were smiling,
but he said ´no´ within his heart,
as he said ´yes´ his eyes were smiling,
but he was crying in his heart.
