Only a few words But they're just for you Hope they'll make you see Since I've shut the door I'm even more More with you Only a few thoughts But they're just for you Just to let you know When I took the train I felt I had to explain But I wasn't able to speak I always thought I was immune And when our love went out of tune I did not believe it could be so hard Just for you A few words which make you see I realized that you've gone I realized what I've done Old father told me soon: "Never let her be too close" I laughed and loved my rose As I said I thought I was immune It's not I'm crying About lost years - full of joy and tears It's not I'm trying To hold back what I left Wintertime - and the living is not easy Time after time I recognize you're no longer mine Only a few notes But they're just for you Written by a fool Who can't understand Why he let go your hand I feel things become true Which I said to me and you in a thousand lies before Maybe old dad was right Maybe he was wrong; It's the same I've to be strong Since I went out of sight It isn't a delight No - it's more a fight It's not I'm crying About lost years - full of joy and tears It's not I'm trying To hold back what I left Wintertime - and the living is not easy Time after time I recognize you're no longer mine
