Frühlingstraum

I dreamed of a beautiful garden
Of flowers and meadows in May
When days passed like the golden sun
And troubles seemed far away
But when I awoke there was no sun
And the wind blew cold and strong
I felt sick and felt alone
I saw flowers painted on stone
Tried to warm up on a winter-day
And closed my eyes again
Yet spring and flowers have faded away
All my searching was in vain
You’re laughing about the foolish dreamer
Who saw flowers in winter…
I dreamed of the days of love and hope
When I looked into your eyes
When we sat silent side by side
When I saw you smile
But when I awoke…
Tried to warm up…
When will I be back in a better land
When will I hold your hand…
