 ( )
 Listen to the song for the Rhythm, its a lot of quick changes at the end.
And  I will stroll the merry  way
 And jump the hedges  first
And  I will drink the clear
 Clean water for  to quench my thirst
And  I shall watch the ferry-boats
 And they'll get  high
 On a bluer ocean
Against  tomorrow's sky
 And I will never grow so  old again
And  I will walk and talk
 In gardens all wet  with rain
Oh  sweet thing, sweet  thing
My,  my, my, my, my  sweet thing
 And I shall drive my chariot
 Down your streets and cry
 'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
 And I don't know why'
 And you shall take me strongly
 In your arms again
 And I will not remember
 That I even felt the pain.
 We shall walk and talk
 In gardens all misty and wet with rain
 And I will never, never, never
 Grow so old again.
 Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
 My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
 And I will raise my hand up
 Into the night time sky
 And count the stars
 That's shining in your eye
 Just to dig it all an' not to wonder
 That's just fine
 And I'll be satisfied
 Not to read in between the lines
 And I will walk and talk
 In gardens all wet with rain
 And I will never, ever, ever, ever
 Grow so old again.
 Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
 Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes
 And your saint-like smile...
