So wie du warst [English translation]

Don't be afraid, I'm here for you,

to hold your hand, and I look back.

Where are the years and the days of joy,

they flew by, I hold you close, and I look back.

Thoughts race by me,

I am proud of our time.

Chorus:

The way you were, you'll always be here

The way you were, you are always with me

The way you were, only time tells,

The way you were, so much of you stayed with me.

Let go, my friend

and don't worry

I'll be there, for those that you love.

Each short moment and every blink of an eye,

I keep it in honour,

no matter where you are.

A whole life passes me by,

I am proud of our time.

Chorus:

The way you were, you'll always be here

The way you were, you are always with me

The way you were, only time tells,

The way you were, so much of you stayed with me.

Let go, my friend

and don't worry

I'll be there, for those that you love.

Chorus:

The way you were, you'll always be here

The way you were, you are always with me

The way you were, only time tells,

The way you were, so much of you stayed with me.
