Velvet face was what I saw,
Tenderness and innocence of young teen's release.
I wanted to touch you
And there was no life in you.
Your name is engraved on the stone,
Only love remained in my heart.
Now you're in heaven
And all I'm left with is pain -
You said that the rain will wash away the tears,
But the rain has stopped, and the tears continue,
They go down unto the warm grave,
Go down all over the world.
Apart from you, I had no one,
No other girl have I loved before.
I was faithful to you,
And I'll still be faithful even after.
Velvet face in the sky,
Smiling at me from the clouds.
You close your eyes
And wrap yourself in a shroud -
You said that the rain will wash away the tears,
But the rain has stopped, and the tears continue,
They go down unto the warm grave,
Go down all over the world.
