I still remember
when I was 18
she came by here
narrow shoulders
dark hair and eyes full of shyness.
Until we both became friends
That took quite a long time
we talked many a night
until the morning came.
She said:
I've never loved before
I don't know
whether I can do that
because there's more to it
than a flirt and a few rings.
I said: keep your head up
lean on me.
It will It's okay somehow
because if you help me a little
Love isn't a problem.
We looked for a room
and we settled in.
We slept in it Boden
and we drank red wine.
We were happy and crazy as lovers are
until one day we realized
she's having a child.
She said:
/>I've never had a child before
I want to give it to you
So the time of dreams is over in our lives.
I said: Keep your head up
Lean back to me.
It'll work out somehow
I'll help you as best I can
You can do it
You'll see.
She gave me a girl
/>I was really proud of her
we argued and made up
the time was better than ever
even though it was difficult at times
there was always a way
until I saw the truth
that she won't live long.
She said:
I'm so afraid of dying
I don't know
what comes next
/>Is there a new morning in another world?
Now we are alone
The little girl is with me
Sometimes I have to cry
She looks far too similar to her
/>but [email protected] I'm completely desperate
and can't go any further
then she takes my hand
and looks at me with wide eyes
and she says:
I've never been alone before
I know so little about life
I I'm still so small
and I can't give you anything more than love.
I said: keep your head up
lean on me.
It'll work out somehow
because If you help me a little
I'll get through it.
She said:
I've never been alone before
I don't know
if I can manage
I need your eyes
and your hand and your voice.
I said: keep your head up
lean on me.
It will work somehow
because if you If you help me a little, I'll get through it.
