Was Ich Gerne Wär' Für Dich
Udo Jürgens
What I Would Like to Be for You
For you, I would like to be a poet at the piano and paint poems
That caress your soul like a gentle summer breeze
I want to find words woven from sunbeams
That brighten your day when times are dark
For you, I would like to be Chagall and bathe the world in colors
That describe this happiness when I feel your nearness
But I would use every fiery red and sky blue
It would not be enough to say what I want
Everything is illusion, everything is dreams only
But you should just know what I would like to be for you
For you, I want to be a light that burns only for you
Your lighthouse when hope seems pointless and difficult
I want to reduce everything that scares you to rubble and ashes
The sad thoughts sink deep into the sea
For you, I would like to be all-powerful with my bare hands
Face evil and every storm in its path
I want to remove all doubts, death and the devil from you
I want to be able to do everything that I unfortunately cannot
Everything is illusion, everything is dreams only
But you should just know what I would like to be for you
But you are not a dream you are reality for me
So you should just know what I would like to be for you
Your island of feeling your way to every goal
I want to be the yes to every no for you!
