Ich weiß, du könntest meine Tochter sein

You smile tenderly and speak
With your eyes
Your bare face
It is beautiful in its own way
Youth hangs like a scent in your loose hair
I never get tired of just looking at you

You wear a sweater with blue jeans
Almost like a boy
And yet everyone can see
You are already a woman
You move around completely uninhibited
And come close to me
You enchanted me
And know it exactly

I know you could be my daughter
A rose that blooms much later
Spring is coming into your life
And who knows how long I can hold you
You will go like a day in May
Like a day in May

You hardly talk because you don’t want to
Saying something wrong
But you are hungry for all that
What is called life
If you are in love then also a little in yourself
You don't know the fire that almost burns me

I know you could be my daughter
A rose that blooms much later
Spring is coming into your life
And who knows how long I can hold you
You will go
Like a day in May

Spring is coming into your life
And who knows how long I can hold you
You will go like a day in May
Like a day in May
