Ben, you came at a good time to see
A world that spins so fast
And a life that runs rapidly
Ben, I heard you want to talk
Your mother told me you're misbehaving a lot
And seeing your photos I miss you
Ben, one day you will grow up
You'll get tired of toys and playing out
You'll go back with the sadness under your arm
That the teeth fall out
And the legs grow so much
Ghosts fly
After the lights go out
But there's no mystery
There's no reason to cry
Ben, don't forget to listen to the discs that I gave you
Don't miss out a good day at the beach
Don't forget to visit me, you crazy bastard
Ben, don't care about what they will say
Nor pay too much attention to advices
Not even to the nonsense I'm saying
right now
That the teeth fall out
And the legs grow so much
Ghosts fly
After the lights go out
People scream
People speak too much
But there's no mystery
There's no reason to cry
Life is good
When you play a lot
When you sing
And you don't look back
Just don't forget
That I'm your buddy
No matter what
