From the seed of a lifetime to the harvest years

A girl knows the bitter and sweet taste of tears

The first love was a green love it was free and sincere

It ended in heartbreak and the young taste of tears

Then came the fool's love of life's wasted years

Time changes nothing but the taste of your tears

You pray for a true love and soon he appears

To share joy and sadness and the sweet taste of tears

And the sweet taste of tears
