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
