Springtime Nights

Once upon a time You came to the world, a night I won't forget
I went rushing madly through the night
I so longed to see your face

In the blue shadows of the gloaming hour
When flowers fold onto themselves
You came, so small, so fragile
A whisper of life, a gift, my love

I often think and wonder
What my life would be
If only you were still here with me
After you, it all splintered and crumbled
And ever since, it's all been so different

Please, forgive me
If I don't think about you every day
Time has passed and, what can I say?
I just had to find my way
And continue my journey

Please, forgive me
If I needed to wander to follow new ways
But that's how you survive
You search for a meaning
I had to go on

I saw you and I loved you
You were so perfect, so beautiful
I took you in my arms, and drank you with my eyes
I still have no word for what happened next

I often think and wonder
What my life would be
If only you were still here with me
After you, it all splintered and crumbled
And ever since, it's all been so different

Please, forgive me
If I don't think about you every day
Time has passed and, what can I say?
I just had to find my way
And continue my journey

Please, forgive me
If I needed to wander to follow new ways
But that's how you survive
You search for a meaning
I had to go on

You left me forever that night
And you returned to the shadows
Spring slowly fading into Summer
And all that remained was tears and sorrow
