Time goes by
Whether we like it or not
But little Amanda doesn ́t want to grow old
`Cause she ́s afraid she might have to change a lot
To fit into this sordid world

Every now and then she lets her dreams fly away for a while
To a life she can live, not only to survive

`Cause she, she ́s facing everyday ́s reality
But she, she ́s the one who believes in dreams
Though hearts grow cold and love grows old
Things ain ́t always what they seem to be

But time goes by
Whether we hate it or not
And childhood dreams don ́t always come true
It ́s hard to change the world with children at your feet
And always so many things to do

Every now and then she lets her dreams fly away for a while
To a life she can live, not only to survive

`Cause she, she ́s facing everyday ́s reality
But she, she ́s the one who believes in dreams
Though hearts grow cold and love grows old
Things ain ́t always what they seem to be

Years are passing by
Whether we accept it or not
Now little Amanda is grey and old
Like a fading flower in a land that time forgot
She says, “winter has never been this cold”

Every now and then she lets her dreams fly away for a while
To a life she can live, not only to survive

`Cause she, she ́s facing everyday ́s reality
But she, she ́s the one who believes in dreams
Though hearts grow cold and love grows old
Things ain ́t always what they seem to be


Time goes by
Whether we like it or not
But little Amanda doesn ́t wanna grow old
