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

And criticized your school girl clothes

But would I then have paced these roads to love you



For seasons come and seasons go

Bring forth the rain the sun and 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

And the clouds in your eyes were just cover

For your thighs were the cushions

Of my love and yours for each other



The songs still are sung

It was fun to be young

But please don't be sad where 'ere you are

I am who I am

You are who you are

Now Valerie's a woman

Now valerie's a woman

Now valerie's a woman
