Lyrics:
[Strophe 1:]Well thisIs such a sad affairI've opened up my heartOh so many timesBut now it's closed[Strophe 2:]Oh my dearEvery salty tearIt wringsBittersweet applause[Strophe 3:]But when the show's in full swing every once in a whileHigh stepping chorus linesMean I'm forgetting my lullaby-Liebchen[Strophe 4:]How rich in contrast love can beSometimes I'm quite amusedTo see it twist and turnTo taste both sweet and dry[Strophe 5:]These vintage yearsLovers you consume, my friendAs others their wine[Strophe 6:]Nein, das ist nicht das Ende der WeltGestrandet am [?]Und das Spiel geht weiter, wie man weißNoch viele schönste Wiedersehen[Strophe 7:]And nowAs you turn to leaveYou try to force a smileAs if to compensateThen you break down and cry
