music: ulrich roth, rudolf schenker lyrics: corinna fortmann as years are passing by silence becomes your friend you see the world in a different way don't be afraid of getting old life's still full of joy and the beauty of the past is rejoicing your mind. when days are getting short and winter comes along your life slows down and down life's like a river getting wide the words have lost their force you remember your morning flow into the endless sea. life's like a river in the morning life's like a sea without end life's like a river in the morning life's like a sea without end
