Like fallen leaves Victims of time Memories of old times Wind blows, they fly Forgotten promises Someone else's dreams It wasn't you It wasn't me It wasn't reality Don't say you're sorry For once treating me so wrong You sure did hurt me then But the tears, they are long gone So after all this time When you ask me how I am Couldn't tell Couldn't say Oh, try to understand estribillo: Don't touch the sun Don't touch the sun It'll burn you alive Ashes to the ground And it's all about the stages Where lovers turn to strangers Leaving just a shadow in the heart Oh Lord, I was just a young boy I thought love's a friend I couldn't read between the lines No I didn't understand That reaching out for you Was like reaching for the sun Hurt my eyes Struck my mind And then burned my heart estribillo Don't touch the sun (2x) Oh, the sun Don't touch the sun estribillo Don't touch the sun, no no (2x) The sun Don't touch the sun, no no, no no It'll burn you alive, no no no The sun Don't touch the sun, no, no, no, no
