Touch me,  
It is so easy to leave me all alone with the memory  
Of my days in the sun  
If you’ll touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is  
Look, a new day has begun…

Oh I had to leave today  
Just when I thought I’d found you  
It was a new day yesterday  
But it’s an old day now

The sadness in your eyes  
Forgive me
