Wärst Du Nicht Du

Wouldn't you be you
Where would I find peace
I have loved often and often
And always hoped that you exist

Wouldn't you be you
Tell me why
My heart turns me from country to country
It searched until it found you
New stars certainly lured me into the distance
Wouldn't you be you

If you weren't there
So sweet and close
I would still fly as a vagabond
From dance to dance, from mouth to mouth

If you weren't there
Now I know
You are the breath
That inspires me
You are the fulfillment I lack
I would fly blindly to all winds
To find you you would not be there

Wouldn't you be the
Of which I know
My happiness is here
Wouldn't you be the
I kept looking for you

Wouldn't you be you
I would be in no time
Once again in the neighboring house
Looking for sweet loose things

Wouldn't you be you
Now I found peace
I hold you in my arms
You snuggle up so soft and warm
Turn off the light and you said
You don't like that
If you weren't
