Marvin's Song
Blue System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the people said : "listen"
It's so funny, how the things will often change
From the moment, you could talk
Oh, they told you : "please wait, boy"
It's so funny, how the things will often change
But whatever they'll tell you
And whatever they say
I promise, come what may
Marvin, life is harder than it seems
Marvin, never grow too old to dream
Marvin, oh i swear you'll always be my son
Every time and every moment
And whatever you have done
From the moment, you could smile
Thousand times i saw you crying
It's so funny how the things will often change
From the moment, you would try
Oh, they want you as a soldier
It's so funny how the things will often change
Oh, if time could turn backwards
I would never leave again
Someday, we'll be together
Always be a friend
Marvin, but i swear, you'll always be my son
Every time and every moment
And whatever baby, you have done

From the moment, you could talk
Since you were able to start speaking
All the people said : "listen"
Everyone around would urge you to listen
It's so funny, how the things will often change
It's ironic how situations can always change
Oh, they told you : "please wait, boy"
People advised you to be patient
But whatever they'll tell you
No matter what others may say to you
And whatever they say
Regardless of their words
I will always be your best friend
I'll always be your closest companion
I promise, come what may
I vow, in any circumstance
Marvin, life is harder than it seems
Marvin, life is more difficult than it appears to be
Marvin, never grow too old to dream
Marvin, always remember to not become too old to dream
Marvin, oh i swear you'll always be my son
Marvin, I swear you'll always be like a son to me
Every time and every moment
At any given time
And whatever you have done
Regardless of what you've accomplished
From the moment, you could smile
Even from when you started smiling
Thousand times i saw you crying
I witnessed many times when you were upset and crying
Oh, they want you as a soldier
Oh, they're trying to urge you to become a soldier
Oh, if time could turn backwards
If only it were possible to go back in time
I would never leave again
I would stay by your side forever
Someday, we'll be together
At some point, we'll be reunited
Always be a friend
I'll always be here for you
Marvin, but i swear, you'll always be my son
Marvin, I swear you'll always be like a son to me
And whatever baby, you have done
Regardless of anything you've done, dear baby

OK, many ballads are kind of cheesy, but touching.
