I've known her since we both were kids
I recall the silly things we did
She would want to ride upon my back
to keep from stepping on a crack.
I didn't think of it back then
But even when she did not win,
she was happy just to play
Stoney liked to live out every day.
(Chorus:)
Stoney, happy all the time
Stoney [life is/*liked the] summertime
The joy you find in living every day
Stoney, how I love your simple ways.
The times when no-one understood,
seems that Stoney always would
We'd walk for hours in the sand
She would always try and hold my hand.
Chorus*
Instrumental
Now, I don't recollect the time
I fell in love with this old friend of mine,
or when I first saw in her eyes
what she tried so hard to hide.
Chorus* (bis)
Nanu, das hat doch garkeinen richtigen Schluß - oder? Richtig erkannt; aber ursprünglich hatte es den doch - er war halt nur zu traurig; also beschloß man irgendwann, ihn wegzulassen. Er lautete:
"I don't know who picks our time to go
Only wished that we had years to grow
And even if there's nothing they can do
Stoney girl, at least I once had you!"
