Lyrics: Das Beste

Das Beste

Der beste Traum, das ist ein Traum
Der wahr bleibt, wenn die Nacht vergeht
Der beste Freund, das ist ein Freund
Der da bleibt, wenn der Wind sich dreht
Nur die tiefsten Blicke sehen in dich hinein
Das schönste Wort, das heißt „verzeihen"

Weißt du, du bist das Beste, was mir geschah
Auch wenn du fort musst, du bist mir nah
Ich hab das Gefühl, obwohl diese Tür sich schließt:
Wir sehen uns einmal wieder
Mehr als ein Wunder brauch ich nicht dazu
Ich hab nichts versäumt im Leben
Doch das Beste, was mir geschah, bist du

Die beste Glut, das ist die Glut
Die in der Asche weiterglüht
Der beste Mut, das ist der Mut
Der überall nach Hoffnung sieht
Und am reichsten ist auch, wer am meisten gibt
Am freiesten der, der wahrhaft liegt

Weißt du, du bist das Beste, was mir geschah
Auch wenn du fort musst, du bist mir nah
Ich hab das Gefühl, obwohl diese Tür sich schließt:
Wir sehen uns einmal wieder
Mehr als ein Wunder brauch ich nicht dazu
Ich hab nichts versäumt im Leben
Doch das Beste, was mir geschah, bist du
Du

Ich hab nichts versäumt im Leben
Doch das Beste, was mir geschаh, biѕt du

The Best

The best dream is a dream
That remains true when night passes
The best friend is a friend
Who stays when the wind changes
Only the deepest gazes look into you
The most beautiful word is "forgive"

Do you know you're the best thing that happened to me
Even when you have to go away, you're close to me
I have the feeling, although this door is closing:
We'll see each other again
I don't need more than a miracle for that
I haven't missed anything in life
But the best thing that happened to me is you

The best ember is the ember
That continues to glow in the ashes
The best courage is the courage
That looks for hope everywhere
And the richest is also the one who gives the most
The freest is the one who lays truly

Do you know you're the best thing that happened to me
Even when you have to go away, you're close to me
I have the feeling, although this door is closing:
We'll see each other again
I don't need more than a miracle for that
I haven't missed anything in life
But the best thing that happened to me is you
You

I haven't missed anything in life
But the best thing that hаppened to me iѕ you

I Couldn't Imagine Life Without You

The time without you made me see
Just wanna have been leaping for
The time without you made me feel
The longing for you even more
We were too afraid to celebrate our life
But soon we knew what we have lost

Darling, one look, I knew we make a new start
One arrow, through straight back to my heart
And I do believe, that one can only see
How strong the bond between us
Has part us back togheter once again
I could, live without fame and fortune
But I couldn't imagine life, without you

Now every day is meaningful
And you have found my destiny
Ooh… the lonely days and nights are gone
We're taking our love seemingsly
There's a guiding star and especially for us
Each shining for, our precious light

Darling, one look, I knew we make a new start
One arrow, through straight back to my heart
And I do believe, that one can only see
How strong the bond between us
Has part uѕ back togheter once again
I could, live without fame and fortune
But I couldn't imagine life, without you
You

I could, live without fame and fortune
But I couldn't imаgine life, without you
