The Long Road

I love, I love you night and day

As a star in the distant sky

And I mourn for this one thing alone

That to love, our lifetime was so short, so short

A long road to heaven's shining meadow

And never could I reach its end

But a longer road leads to your heart

Which to me seems distant as a star to me

I love, I love you night and day

As a star in the distant sky

And I mourn for this one thing alone

That to love, our lifetime was so short, so short

A long road to heaven's shining meadow

And never could I reach its end

But a longer road leads to your heart

Which to me seems distant as a star

To me, a long road

High above, the arch of heaven bends

And light so clear is falling

Like a flow'ring tree the world is blooming

Overwhelmed, my heart both cries and laughs

O, like a flow'ring tree the world is blooming

Overwhelmed, my heart both cries and laughs

A long road to heaven's shining meadow

And never could I reach its end

But a longer road leads to your heart

But a longer road leads to your heart

My love

Which to me seems distant as a star

A long road
