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
