Lie in every shape
Throw yourself into each of my steps
I dance for you, wherever you want
I go over to the window
To see if the sun is still shining
I've cried too often in your hands
During heavy storms
How can a person endure this
To see you every day
Without daring once
To look into your eyes?
Stand in my center
Lie in every shape
Throw yourself into each of my steps
I lead you, wherever you want
How can a person endure this
To see you every day
Without daring once
To look into your eyes?
To see, to see
To see
To see
To see
If I could just have a single day
In my life to please you
To then fall into your arms just once
How can a person endure this
To see you every day
Without daring once
To look into your eyes?
To see, to see
To see
To see
To see
Zu seh'n
Lie in every shape
