There's a Berlin lady Always dressed in black Never sees reality She's always looking back With her box of photos Underneath her bed Memories of yesterday And of the life she led It was so nice then They were good times then You were young, and sang And danced the nights away But now you're older Those days are over But the life you lead Is that of yesterday There's a Berlin lady Reading once again All those letters that she's kept From days of way back when Looking out the window It's not the place she knew Everything has changed so much She pulls the curtains to It was so nice then They were good times then You were young, we sang We danced the nights away But now you're older Those days are over But the life you lead Is that of yesterday Yesterday has gone There's a Berlin lady Love has let her down Her love has been kept from her On the other side of town Lala, lala, la la Lala, la lala Lala, lala, la la la Lala ...
