Come sit here on my shoulder little one Let the colour of your skin absorb the sun We can stay here for a while But when you're done you can fly away Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Feel you're Scratch marks on my shoulder As the day starts to grow older I know that we might not meet again My friend So as our time grows shorter Let us enjoy the company of each other And the magic of laughter Cause to soon it will all end Good things come then fly away Our troubles leave and then they stay People are happy but soon to be sad This way we know good things don't last Oh why don't good things last Oh why don't good things last Come sit here on my shoulder little one And watch the sunset as the day is done
