Soon I shall say my goodbye
Not because I love you less, my dear
But because I love you more each day
A fact I could not comprehend.
You are a total stranger to me
Yet I long to belong to you
Curl in your arms when I am cold
Draw strength from you when I have fears.
With you I want to be a kid once more
Listen to stories that made you who you are today
As I will lovingly look at them in your eyes
Yes, with you I will be a kid once more.
But soon, I shall say my sad goodbye
Before loving you has become too much to bear
Before I will be misunderstood and become spiteful
Yes, very soon, I must have the courage to say goodbye.

Soon I shall say my goodbye
Not because I love you less, my dear
But because I love you more each day
A fact I could not comprehend.
You are a total stranger to me
Yet I long to belong to you
Curl in your arms when I am cold
Draw strength from you when I have fears.
With you I want to be a kid once more
Listen to stories that made you who you are today
As I will lovingly look at them in your eyes
Yes, with you I will be a kid once more.
But soon, I shall say my sad goodbye
Before loving you has become too much to bear
Before I will be misunderstood and become spiteful
Yes, very soon, I must have the courage to say goodbye.
