I fear the time is soon coming when you will be gone.
You will travel back to your homeland.
I pray that this parting won’t be for long.
I dream about holding your hand.

To think the year is now done,
and the pain I will go through to have you leave.
But, I hope you will remember me, if only for a moment during the fun.
I promise I will remember you for as long as I breathe.

Each time I see you in the hallway,
all time seems to stop.
The world around us stops turning.
Each time I see your lovely face, all of my troubles and fears seem to drop.
With a love for you I believe I am burning.

I wish these moments could last, but they are gone so soon.
Life just continues to sweep us along.
Each night I lay in bed, thinking of you while looking at the moon.
I wish I could know the words to your song.

As you now leave, I know that neither distance nor oceans will separate my love for you.
I pray that the bridge our friendship creates won’t burn with time.
I pray that I may discover something new.
I will think of you with each clock chime.

I want to know what it would take to win your heart to me.
I want to be your friend, I want to be your man.
Then my heart will be set free.
When it is cold I will hold you close, and when it is not, I will hold your fan.

It makes me sad to have to let you go.
I wish this day would never have to come.
Before you leave, there is something I want you to know:
Ich liebe dich!
