Mary Roos

When you're singing don't forget (Audio)

When you see starving children, do you cry?
Listen to the orphan, do you ask why?
If you can bear such sights
and find you still can sleep at night,
yes, you don't ask for wonder why.

If you can make the young man go to war
who doesn't know he's seeing home no more
He puts a flower in his gun
He's got a smile for everyone 
and for the girl he's fighting for.

(Chorus:)
You smile and sing 
But when you're singing, don't forget,
though you don't ever wear a frown
the world around is burning down
Just smile and sing
But when you're singing, don't forget,
while you don't ever wear a frown
the whole world is burning, burning down.

A lonely man is dying on his own*
No happiness or sunshine has he known
No good-bye kiss from friend or wife,
and on the last day of his life,
no hand to touch, he's so alone.

Chorus (bis)


*Jeder stirbt für sich alleine - aber das war damals wohl noch nicht allgemein bekannt ;-)
