Forgotten

At least he was really content
at least he always said so.
But I knew it since a long time.
But he didn't accept it when I told him.
You must not live for others.
Do not live for work,
but work to live.

He has forgotten... forgotten to live.
He laboured and saved money all his life.
So he totally has forgotten to live.
He has given away his whole life.

Then when he got older
he had not enough power and had to keep off...
had to keep off, what made fun.
In former times he laughed at me,
that I spend my money for life and for fun.

He has forgotten... forgotten to live.
He laboured and saved money all his life.
So he totally has forgotten to live.
He has given away his whole life.

Now he is dying
and he has second thoughts, but his mind is blank.
He does’t allow himself, ohh... a minute's fun,
his heart is full of remorse.
Now there’s nothing he can dream about.
His life is over.

He has forgotten... forgotten to live.
He laboured and saved money all his life.
So he totally has forgotten to live.
He has given away his whole life.

Ohh...

He has forgotten... forgotten to live.
He laboured and saved money all his life.
So he totally has forgotten to live.
He has given away his whole life.

So he totally has forgotten to live.
He has given away his whole life.
Uhh... forgotten to live.

He has forgotten to live.
