I haven’t seen you in all this time
You call me now
To announce that you’re getting married
Wow that’s great my friend
Call me whenever you like my brother
It makes me feel good, news like that
So was it her or you
Who made the first move tell me, friend
I’m so happy for you
And then you have such a big heart
That you could marry ten thousand times
They’d all have much too much love, friend
Sometime I feel like marrying too
I wouldn’t know how to do it myself
I think I’d ruin everything you see
Women, love, I don't understand them, friend
Me, the girls, I look at them from afar
Their too short skirts make me feel good
When winter has drawn out its long cry in my solitude
When alone it’s not the same
On talks about the rain, about the good weather
With a dog who lends an ear
A dog that’s as gentle as a mother, friend
We should see each other more often
You the only one I really miss
Of all the old night gang
In Ghent, in Brussels, in Paris, friend
We had dreams so big
That we could all get inside them
We had dreams so beautiful
That we made them shine like knives
“Don’t forget to stop by the laundry
And if you can pick up so bread darling!”
Sometime I dream of words like that
Written by a loving hand
To lie myself down beside my wife
To tell her that it's all ok
And then to go to sleep in her arms
What do you say to that, friend
Me, the girls, I look at them from afar
Their too short skirts make me feel good
When winter has drawn out its long cry in my solitude
I’m so happy for you
And also my best wishes to the lady
So her name is Sarah
I’m sure she is as beautiful as the day is long, friend
I haven’t seen you in all this time
You call me now
To announce that you’re getting married
Wow that’s great my friend
We had dreams so big
That we could all get inside them
We had dreams so beautiful
That we waved them like flags
Hey Geoffrey, My Geoffrey
You’re happy eh?
That’s good, that’s good, my friend
