The Stairs

The little stairs that led to my room
I remember walking them up and down
I've sat on them thinking of life
I've played on them with my cat at night
I've laughed on them I've cried
on the little stairs that led to my room

You've dreamed of those stairs and you walked up to my room
and you walked up and down
and you thought of life
and you played with my cat at night
and you laughed and you cried
on the little stairs that led to my room
but then you went down and you never returned

Then I started to walk the stairs again
up and down
and up and down
but it wasn't the same
and I had to leave them behind
the stairs that led you to my room
