When I get lonely I visit That used bookstore up on the hill I feel like if I stand around reading I might run into you Back then you were with me On days when my heart was down And you'd make me laugh With your jokes Youth is like climbing Up a long hill Everyone gets out of breath And stops to rest all alone How happy I would have been In times like those If I could have a good cry In the warm embrace of your arms The love we couldn't put into words Travelled between our hearts Won't you walk that road with me One more time? When I put my hand on The peeling paint of the bench I can still feel Your warmth even now Youth is like climbing Up a long hill I want to cling To someone's strong arms The years I spent with you Passed as quickly as an arrow Leaving only sorrow Squatting in its wake Youth is like climbing Up a long hill No one knows Where the road leads In times like those You come running to console me I can hear your happy footsteps Behind me
