And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you That I’m tired of Castles in the Air I’ve got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls Just leave me to despair Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky A dream come true, I’ll live there ’til I die I’m asking you, to say my last goodbye The love we knew, ain’t worth another try Save me from all the trouble and the pain I know I’m weak but I can’t face that girl again Tell her the reasons why I can’t remain Perhaps she’ll understand if you tell it to her plain Oh, but how can words express the feel of sunlight In the morning in the hills away from city strife I need a country woman for my wife I’m city born but I love the country life For I can not be part of her "Cocktail-Generation Partner’s Waltz," Devoid of all romance The music plays and everyone must dance I’m bowing out, I need a second chance Save me from all the trouble and the pain I know I’m weak but I can’t face that girl again Tell her the reasons why I can’t remain Perhaps she’ll understand if you tell it to her plain And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you That I’m tired of Castles in the Air I’ve got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls Just leave me to despair
You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss A sigh is still (just) a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by
And when two lovers woo They still say: "i love you" On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs – never out of date Hearts full of passion – jealousy and hate Woman needs man – and man must have his mate That no one can deny
It’s still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by
