Bleib noch hier

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Female] I kept your letter by the kitchen door Beside the keys we never use Your careful handwriting still says more Than all the words I couldn’t choose [Verse 2: Male] I took the long way past the river bend Where we would watch the ferries turn I thought that time could make a stranger friend But every mile brought back the words I learned [Pre-Chorus: Female] If you can hear me through the years I’m done pretending I’m not here [Chorus: Female and Male] Stay with me, bleib noch hier When the morning finds us near Hold my hand, halt mich fest You’re the home I know the best Through every change, durch jede Zeit We choose each other, side by side [Verse 3: Male] The room is quiet, but the kettle sings Your blue cup waiting on the shelf I never knew how small the ordinary things Could feel like losing half myself [Pre-Chorus: Male] So let the honest answer start I’m bringing all of my heart [Chorus: Female and Male] Stay with me, bleib noch hier When the morning finds us near Hold my hand, halt mich fest You’re the home I know the best Through every change, durch jede Zeit We choose each other, side by side [Bridge: Female] No perfect promise, no grand design Just your coat beside mine [Bridge: Male] A thousand tomorrows, one open door I choose you now, and I’ll choose you more [Final Chorus: Female and Male] Stay with me, bleib noch hier Let the whole world disappear Hold my hand, halt mich fest You’re the home I know the best Through every change, durch jede Zeit Wir bleiben hier, side by side Stay with me, bleib noch hier My love, my home, my always near [Outro: Female and Male] Side by side, für alle Zeit
