Lyrics - Fortyseven

A little girl with blonde hair

Her bathing suit was just a string around her waist

A little girl with blonde hair

She played around and she would sing what`s of her taste

A little girl with blonde hair

A little girl with blonde hair

 

When a child is born

You expect her to live a long life

Live on and gain experience

When a child is born

You'd be happy to give a strong life

With so little pain experience

When a child is born

When a child is born

 

A teenage girl with blonde hair

Ahead of her a future bright and hopeful lied

A teenage girl with blonde hair

She played around both day and night

She laughed and cried

A teenage girl with blonde hair

A teenage girl with blonde hair

 

When a child grows up

You would want her to learn a few things

To make her live a happy life

When a child grows up

She`d be glad if she`d turn to new things

So they could give a happy life

When a child grows up

And the child grew up

 

And her life went on

And then suddenly

Everything was gone

 

At the age of fortyseven

She went to heaven

If there is one I'm sure it's where she went

All her life was heaven sent

 

At the age of fortyseven…

 

A woman in her prime time

Her family and every friend was her concern

A woman in her prime time

Did she know that in the end we all would yearn

A woman in her prime time

A woman in her prime time

 

At the age of fortyseven…

 

At the age of fortyseven…

 

A mother a lover a sister a friend

A loving and caring and warm hearted friend

Why did it have to end this way

 

A mother a lover a sister ….

 

A mother a lover a sister ….

 

Why did it have to end this way

Why did it have to end this way
