There's a sailor gone to sea, 
only he knows how it feels,
as he beats a fun farewell 
to all his kids.

As he walks along the shore,
To his love he trows a rose
"I'll return again in winter,or in spring"

We had it all, 
we had the best of times.
we had a life 
that dreams are made of.

When the sun melts the sky,
As a soldier standing by,
Their eyes - they can not hide 
that lonesome tale.

There's a photograph of home,
And the smell of sweet Cologne,
Old words of love forever (at a day?)

We had it all, 
we had the best of times.
we had a life 
that dreams are made of.

At the station she boards a train,
All wet with tears and rain.
father holds a mothers' empty hands.
She whispers as she goes 
Of all the things you need to know
"What I have i hold forever in my heart"

We had it all, 
we had the best of times.
we had a life 
that dreams are made of.

On an old country lane
Where the wilderness till rains
An old man takes a flower in his hand.
"How I watched you bloom and fade
And all the beauty you create
I'll take with me that pleasure as we part."

We had it all, 
we had the best of times,
we had a life 
that dreams are made of.
