  1. I was one as you were one

  2. And we were two so much in love forever

  3. I loved the white socks that you wore

  4. But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman

  5. I joked about your turned-up nose

  6. And criticized your school girl clothes

  7. But would I then have paced these roads to love you?

  8. For seasons come and seasons go

  1. Bring forth the rain, the sun and snow

  2. Make Valerie a woman

  3. And Valerie is lonely

  4. No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton

  5. Undecided with the guardians of the older generation

  6. A doormat was a sign of welcome

  7. In the winter months to come

  8. And in the summer laughing

  9. Through the castle ruins we'd run

  10. For the quadrangle sang to the sun

  11. And the grace of our feeling

  12. And the candle burned low as we talked of the future

  13. Underneath the ceiling

  14. There were tears in the sky

  15. And the clouds in your eyes, they were just cover

  16. For your thighs were the cushions

  17. Of my love and yours for each other

  18. For seasons come and seasons go

  19. Bring forth the rain, the sun and snow

  20. Make Valerie a woman

  21. And Valerie is lonely

  22. The songs still are sung

  23. It was fun to be young

  24. But please, don't be sad wherever you are

  25. I am who I am

  26. You are who you are

  27. Now Valerie's a woman

  28. Now Valerie's a woman

  29. Now Valerie's a woman

First Episode at Hienton

I was one as you were one

And we were two so much in love forever

I loved the white socks that you wore

But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman

I joked about your turned-up nose

And criticized your school girl clothes

But would I then have paced these roads to love you?

For seasons come and seasons go

Bring forth the rain, the sun and snow

Make Valerie a woman

And Valerie is lonely

No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton

Undecided with the guardians of the older generation

A doormat was a sign of welcome

In the winter months to come

And in the summer laughing

Through the castle ruins we'd run

For the quadrangle sang to the sun

And the grace of our feeling

And the candle burned low as we talked of the future

Underneath the ceiling

There were tears in the sky

And the clouds in your eyes, they were just cover

For your thighs were the cushions

Of my love and yours for each other

For seasons come and seasons go

Bring forth the rain, the sun and snow

Make Valerie a woman

And Valerie is lonely

The songs still are sung

It was fun to be young

But please, don't be sad wherever you are

I am who I am

You are who you are

Now Valerie's a woman

Now Valerie's a woman

Now Valerie's a woman
