Flowers grew in wintertime
 Ev'rything seemed possible
 When we were in love

 (Chorus)
 When forever was what other people lost
 This lonesome valley was what other people crossed
 No  I couldn't taste the tears other people shed
 When goodbye was a word other people said

 Rivers flowed  a bridge would burn
 The nights would end  the earth still turned
 Yesterday was just a song to sing
 In the world we knew

 (Repeat chorus)

 When goodbye as a word other people said
