When searching for a moment, all sorrow to forget (forget)
It is pleasant to be awake and daydream (daydream)
To forget that happiness has flown its course
And that you didn't get my red rose
(REF)
Because right as of today I bought
A small rose in a flower shop
A rose red as blood
So that you'll understand that its you
That I love so much
When I called you like I usually do
And asked you out to the movies
You simple answered "No, I'm not in the mood"
You said: "I'm gonna be at home tonight,
going to bed early and sleep. Please, don't call me again"
And I had to promise you that.
But nothing could stop me
I had to go out tonight
I walked through town until I saw you
With some guy in a brand-new car
The polish was shining
The chrome of its nose was sparkling
When I stood there numb, I thought
"How simple is my little rose"
When searching for a moment, all sorrow to forget (forget)
It is pleasant to be awake and daydream (daydream)
To forget that happiness has flown its course
And that you didn't get my red rose
(REF)
When I now wander around nervous and lovesick
There's nobody here to blame me
If the rose I give to another girl
(REF)
