twelve nights

twelve nights i'd live for you
twenty times i'd die for you
two times i've been in love with you
into the night i'd walk with you
spare me the weather
spare me the light
we go off together
into the night
tresspass the wind
and fly through the years
dive into the sea
and wipe away tears
of saddness
of sorrow
spare me tomorrow
for tonight is the first night of the last
only eleven more days left to pass
kiss me, my love
once please, love
twice, love
for at any time
it may be the last
i must go now love
into the sea
into the fire love
i soon will be free
like i said my love,
for you i would die
i must go now love
please, you mustn't cry
i'll come back my love,
i swear i will try
no tears now my love,
take this from me
hold it to your heart, love
and with you i will be
farewell my love,
i'll see you again
i'll love you forever, love
that never will end
twelve nights i lived for you
each night was bliss
twenty times i died for you
the lead didn't miss
two times i was in love for you
you lit up the room
into the night i walked with you
i'll be with you soon
baby, i'll be with you soon...
