... salut de nouveau

Wieder auf Reisen.
Du fragst oft nach mir.
Ich telephonier
noch vorm Zubettgehen mit dir.


Freu mich auf den Moment,
wenn ich steh in der Tür,

und du läufst mir jauchzend entgegen.

...

Und dann öffne ich meine Arme für dich.
Ja, dann öffne ich meine Arme für dich!


Dann öffne ich meine Arme, Gerhard Schöne (1992)

So traurig und so wunderschön!


Wasn't expecting that

It was only a smile but my heart it went wild
and I wasn't expecting that 
just a delicate kiss, anyone could've missed 

I wasn't expecting that 
Did I misread the sign? Your hand slipped into mine 
I wasn't expecting that 
You spent the night in my bed, you woke up and you said 
"Well, I wasn't expecting that" 

I thought love wasn't meant to last, 
I thought you were just passing through 
If I ever get the nerve to ask 
What did I get right to deserve somebody like you? 

I wasn't expecting that 
It was only a word, it was almost mis-heard 
'Cause I wasn't expecting that 
But it came without fear, a month turned into a year 
And I wasn't expecting that 

I thought love wasn't meant to last, 
I thought you were just passing through 
If I ever get the nerve to ask 
What did I get right to deserve somebody like you? 
I wasn't expecting that 

Isn't it strange how a life can be changed 
in the flicker of the sweetest smile 
We were married in spring 
You know I wouldn't change a thing 
Without an innocent kiss, what a life I'd have missed, 

If you'd not took a chance on a little romance 
When I wasn't expecting that 
Time doesn't take long, three kids up and gone 
And I wasn't expecting that 
And when the nurses they came, said its come back again 
I wasn't expecting that 
Then you closed your eyes, took my heart by surprise 
And I wasn't expecting that!
