I lost my little timepiece
It’s very hard to release
Listening to the second’s ticking sound
Watching the arms go round and round
All it cost is the time I lost thinking about my little timepiece

I held it close to my breast
Hung on a chain from my vest
It was a gift from my mummy dear
Now I can’t even tell the time of year
All it cost is the time I lost thinking about my little timepiece

Is this Paradise? Everything seems quite nice.
Who’d suppose I could feel so free without a care and still be me?
Don’t wake me up if this is just a dream
It’s doing quite a lot for my self-esteem
Is this Paradise? In any case, it’s very nice.

Is this Heaven on earth? My eyes beam with mirth
Open wide to the sky so blue, happy now here with you.
Is this mirage or could it be real?
Whatever the price I got a very good deal.
Is this Paradise? In any case it’s very nice.

Now that I’ve lost all track of time all I feel is so sublime
Oh, is this Paradise? In any case, it’s very nice.
In any case, it’s very nice.
