Mehr Als Nur Vier Wände
Udo Jürgens
More Than Just Four Walls
As children, we built sandcastles
Which the sea soon took from us again
Later they became castles on clouds
They collapsed when the storm came
We lived in rooms of our own dreams
And laid out the ground with plans
We lived in heaven for rent and laughed
We built our own house of cards
That's how it was back then
Sit down next to me
I want to tell you something
With you, I want more
More than just four walls
More than security
We build on yesterday
Eternity already today
More than just four walls
To which you hang pictures
A house like your soul
The one you remember forever
A staircase as high as the rainbow
A room of love, a ballroom of lust
A whole wing of endless hope
A hidden dungeon for grief and frustration
A garden full of friends, a fortress of laughter
A four-poster bed for everything that concerns us
A castle in the clouds anchored in longing
Where the light of the Sun originates
This is how it should be
Sit down next to me
I want to tell you something
With you, I want more
More than just four walls
More than security
We build on yesterday
Eternity already today
More than just four walls
To which you hang pictures
A house like your soul
The one you remember forever
A tower of gemstones, a place to be happy
A whole paradise that heaven left us
More than just four walls
More than security
We build on yesterday
Eternity already today
More than just four walls
To which you hang pictures
A house like your soul
The one you remember forever
