I was one as you were one 
And we were two so much in love forever 
I loved the white socks that you wore 
But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman 
I joked about your turned-up nose 
And criticized your school girl clothes 
But would I then have paced these roads to love you 
For seasons come and seasons go 
Bring forth the rain the sun and snow 
Make Valerie a woman 
And Valerie is lonely 
 
No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton 
Undecided with the guardians of the older generation 
A doormat was a sign of welcome 
In the winter months to come 
And in the summer laughing 
Through the castle ruins we'd run 
 
For the quadrangle sang to the sun 
And the grace of our feeling 
And the candle burned low as we talked of the future 
Underneath the ceiling 
There were tears in the sky 
And the clouds in your eyes were just cover 
For your thighs were the cushions 
Of my love and yours for each other 
The songs still are sung 
It was fun to be young 
But please don't be sad where `ere you are 
 
I am who I am 
You are who you are 
Now Valerie's a woman 
Now Valerie's a woman 
Now Valerie's a woman
