Bitter-Sweet lyrics

Well, this is such a sad affair

I've opened up my heart, oh, so many times

But now it's closed

Oh, my dear

Every salted tear, it wrings

Bitter-sweet applause

But when the show is in full swing

Every once in a while

High stepping chorus lines mean I'm forgetting

Mein lullaby-liebchen

How rich in contrast, love can be

Sometimes I'm quite amused

To see it twist and turn

To taste both sweet and dry

These vintage years

Lovers, you consume, my friend

As others, their wine

Nein das ist nicht

Das ende der welt

Gestrandet an leben und kunst

Und das spiel geht weiter

Wie man weiss

Noch viele sch'nste wiedershen

And now as you turn to leave

You try to force a smile as if to compensate

Then you break down and cry
