It was a softly warm day in spring,
as I suddenly heard a well known voice sing.
This voice tenderly touched my inner empty soul,
and filled with light, love and strength this deep dark hole.
My darling, my sweetheart it’s time to go,
to this place behind your dreams, you do not know.
So peaceful, so calm, so free from pain,
have no fear my darling, there’s so much to gain.
The wind was whispering all these words to me,
I wanted so much to say, yes, I agree...
No, I was not ready for this one last step,
even my heart was breaking, I needed to go ahead.
So I heard me saying, I can’t follow you now,
But I will do, my love, I promise, it’s an everlasting vow!
I thought: Our kids lost their father in this senseless war last year,
so what would they do, if I was also not here.
It’s a love for a lifetime and I will never let go,
I don’t need my life, but my kids need me so.
Summer, autumn, winter and the next spring,
from this year on, every year it was the same thing.
I remember it well and was waiting so long,
Hearing your voice, followed by our song.
This feeling you gave me, year after year,
I was not alone, even you were not in person here.
There was always that knowledge, that there is a door,
when I will go through it, we will be together forevermore.
My life is just a blink of an eye in the eternity that lies ahead,
and so there was never a second, when I was really sad.
This spring, with the angels choir you‘re singing for me,
And now my hair is grey, my kids are adults, so I can agree.
I was always your queen, without a crown,
and you are my king, to whom I will lay down.
Let me close my eyes, my heart goes slow now,
Tick tack... bum.. bum... that was my vow.....
