Little children, little sorrows
Joy in house, the only guest
Little children, little sorrows
Could this joy forever last

But the blissful days are fading
And the years of childhood too
And those lovely little sorrows
Soon will never bother you

Little children, little sorrows
You can´t keep them, no one can
Cause the day comes, maybe tomorrow
Both are big and grown up then

Little children, little sorrows
Little hands upon your chest
Little children, little sorrows
Could this joy forever last

But the blissful days are fading
Looking back one day you´ll do
And you´ll know those little sorrows
Were the greatest joy for you

Little children, little sorrows
Joy in house, the only guest
