I never gave you a flower
I thought I was too great
It was foolish for me to be gentle with you
I didn't dance with you not even once,
no matter how much you begged me
And I constantly had no time for you
[Chorus:]
If you were here now, I'd buy you flowers every day
and take you everywhere with me
I would keep you, love
If you were here now, you wouldn't hear, "Dance alone"
Now my darling is dancing again,
but now with someone else
I did too little for you
How would you love such a person
But I already got what I deserved
Today even when I am with another woman,
I'm looking at her like I'm looking at a wall
I'm thinking only of you, I'm thinking only of you
[Chorus:]
If you were here now, I'd buy you flowers every day
and take you everywhere with me
I would keep you, love
If you were here now, you wouldn't hear, "Dance alone"
Now my darling is dancing again,
but now with someone else
And I pray that at least you'd be happy if I can't be
And even if it hurts, believe me my dear, I'm happy for you two
He gives you everything that I failed to give you
And you don't need me, which is my own fault, I know
[Chorus:]
If you were here now, I'd buy you flowers every day
and take you everywhere with me
I would keep you, love.
If you were here now, you wouldn't hear, "Dance alone"
Now my darling is dancing again,
but now with someone else
