Little children, little sorrows 
Joy in house, the only guest
Little children, little sorrows 
Could this joy forever last.

But the blissful days are fading 
And the years of childhood too 
And those lovely little sorrows
Soon will never bother you.

Little children, little sorrows 
You can’t keep them, no one can 
Cause the day comes, maybe tomorrow
Both are big and grown up then 

Little children, little sorrows 
Joy in house, the only guest
Little children, little sorrows 
Could this joy forever last

But the blissful days are fading 
Looking back one day you’ll do 
And you’ll know those little sorrows
Were the greatest joy for you.

Little children, little sorrows
Joy in house, the only guest
