Kleiner großer Schatz

I saw you as a baby just sitting there
and one, two, three, you managed to stand up
taking big steps around your crib
you learned to stand by falling

I still see you riding your first bike
and shortly after, saving up for a car
I saw dangers where they weren't
and you kept getting more beautiful

My little treasure
little big treasure
when will we finally get there
was your favorite question

I see your room, as if it were yesterday
the sun was already shining, but your bed was empty
it's big, no longer a little girl
that's what I said to your teddy bear

I saw your son sitting in front of us
he managed to stand up
taking big steps around his crib
he's also learning to stand by falling

My little treasure
little big treasure
when will we finally get there
you will see it eventually

Even your name is beautiful
more beautiful than all the others
that's what your grandma's name was too

My little treasure
little big treasure
when will we finally get there
I can't tell you
