You give everything when you give
You lose yourself when you love
Young girl, mature woman and child, too
That is you, you, only you

When your hand touches mine
And I feel your warmth
Then I know, whatever will happen, it will be good
So are you, you, only you

And if I go, then goes just a part of me
And if you go, your warmth stays here

And if I cry then cries just a part of me
And the other laughs with you

You often ask a lot of me
But I feel the power in you
And know you never ask more than you give
So are you, you, only you

You always say what you think
And the love that you give
Is so fond and so good and so deep
Just like you, you, only you

And if I sleep, then sleeps just a part of me
And the other dreams with you

And if I die, then dies just a part of me
And if you die, your love stays here
