Gestern war es noch Liebe

In the morning when he leaves the house
And the children have long since gone to school
Do you sometimes look in the mirror
And you notice how quickly time passes

It's all a habit
Even his kiss and the little everyday noise
You take a cigarette
Put them on and watch the blue clouds

And then you think about
Yesterday it was still love
Back when it began
There was never a lie

A look or a word was enough
And happiness was so close'
Even today it hardly seems true
Yesterday it was still love

Between dinner and television you tell her
I'm just going away once more
She is washing the dishes
Just shrugs his shoulders and doesn't say a word to you

And you are looking for the apartment key
Take your coat and close the door behind you
And then you stand in the pub
And you stare into your beer all evening

And then you think about
Yesterday it was still love
Back when it began
There was never a lie

They took each other by the hand and walked in pairs
And then no path seemed too far
Yes, it wasn't like today
Yesterday it was still love

When the children have been asleep for a long time
And a TV evening is coming to an end
Then you look into each other's eyes
And there would be time to speak but you remain silent

All the unsaid words
Lying between you like pent-up ice
Put your arm around her shoulder
Stroke her hair and then tell her quietly

Do you often think about
Yesterday it was still love
Back when it began
There was never a lie
Let it be like this again
And start again with me from the beginning
Because what I feel for you
That's still love yes
