I see faces passing by
I see regrets passing by
As many dreams that are passing
That I left on the sidelines
When I should have dreamed

I saw mirages disappear
That will never come back
I saw so many more journeys
End up shipwrecked
Just as they were beginning

Life goes by
And I didn't see it pass
Life goes by
I only borrowed it
Time passes
I didn't know how to stop it
And I simply forgot to love

I resisted many languages
That I should have spoken
But is it still showing courage
To mark pages
Without being satisfied

Life goes by
And I didn't see it pass
Life goes by
I only borrowed it
Time passes
I didn't know how to stop it
And I simply forgot to love

I don't want to believe without doubting
I don't want to believe
That the road is closed
Once and for all closed
I want to glimpse where to go
Give myself the right
That a man can give himself
To abandon everything

Life goes by
Time is pressing
Life goes by
And I didn't see it pass
Everything fades

Life goes by
And I want to see it pass
Life goes by
I want to see you borrow it
Time is pressing
You knew how to stop it
Time ceases
But at least I would have loved
Life goes by
And it can well pass
Life goes by
And I would like to spend it with you
