Frühlingstraum

I dreamed of a beautiful garden
Of flowers and meadows in may
When days passed like the golden sun
And troubles seemed far away

But when I awoke there was no sun
And the wind blew cold and strong
I felt sick and felt alone
I saw flowers painted on stone

Tried to warm up on a winter day
And closed my eyes again
Yet spring and flowers have faded away
All my searching was in vain

You're laughing about the foolish dreamer
Who saw flowers in winter
Laughing about the foolish dreamer
Who saw flowers in winter

I dreamed of the days of love and hope
When I looked into your eyes
When we sat silent side by side
When I saw you smile
But when I awoke there was no sun
And the wind blew cold and strong
I felt sick and felt alone
I saw flowers painted on stone

Tried to warm up on a winter day
And closed my eyes again
Yet spring and flowers have faded away
All my searching was in vain

When will I be back in a better land
When will I hold your hand
When will I be back in a better land
When will I hold your hand
