Where you

Where you unknown to me
I would have find the one or other way,
to get in touch with you
and love would have flowered between us.

Where you in another country
my road would have led
to your place
and I would have wanted
to stay forever with you.

Where you on the other side of the stars
and carried away by the last stroke
that destiny makes with the timework,
you would have stayed a princess of faraway
and I would not have found you anywhere,

but now you are here with me
and the princess of my heart
and without you
everything would loose meaning
and your mere nearness
is what makes life wonderful for me.
