I was one as you were one, and we were two so much in love forever.
I loved the white socks that you wore.
But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman.
I joked about your turned-up nose, criticized your school girl clothes-

but would I then have paced these roads - to love you?
BRIDGE:
-
For seasons come & seasons go. Bring forth the rain - the sun & snow-
make Valerie a woman. And Valerie is lonely.
No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton.
Undecided with the guardians of the older generation.
A doormat was a sign of welcome - in the winter months to come.
And in the summer laughing through the castle ruins we'd run.
For the quadrangle sang to the sun, and the grace of our feeling -
And the candle burned low.
As we talked of the future underneath the ceiling.
There were tears in the sky & the clouds in your eyes were just cover.
-
For your thighs were the cushions of my love and yours for each other.
{Repeat Bridge, then Intro}
The songs still are sung. It was fun to be young.
But please don't be sad where you are.
I am who I am. You are who you are.
Now Valerie's a woman. Now Valerie's a woman.
Bb/D Gm7/Eb Bb/D Gm7/Eb {Repeat Intro - end in Gm}
Now Valerie's a wo - man.
