‘Tears’ is from a collection of poems I wrote in 1994/95, inspired by Julia, a girl that I once knew.
— ‘Tears’ komt uit een verzameling gedichten die ik in 1994/95 schreef, geïnspireerd door Julia, een meisje dat ik ooit kende.
From that first day, when my eyes met yours, and with words unuttered, I knew that I had found, from the way I felt, from that moment in time, my one true love, As the days have gone by, and Winter has come, the days have got colder, but my heart has grown warmer Then I see you smile, you make me so happy, but when you're sad, I just want to hold you tight, and when you cried, I cried, too, some tears for you, When I'm not with you, you're never far from my thoughts, then while I'm asleep, I dream of you each night,
