sometimes I wonder what I did before I was born
perhaps I was where you went today
you left us, and it's so hard to understand
why is there an end in the middle of your life?

cry, cry, little rose, you have a reason for today
tomorrow raise your head and be happy
˜cause life goes on for you
life goes on for you

something deep inside me says that you're still here
perhaps you sit behind me, wishing you could touch me
and stop my sorrow with some simple words

cry, cry, little rose, let your things lie and be sad
don't worry about tomorrow
everything will be alright
things will be alright

I wish I could say good-bye, a last sign to show you that you - can go
now let go, think just of you, we will manage ˜cause that's just the way it is, our lives have to go on

don't cry little rose this loss is an injustice
but you can't bring him back with your tears
he has to learn that he can fly away
˜cause that's the way it has to be

fly fly to the place, where I was before I was born
