Je m'imagine

I imagine your childhood
With your big, surprised eyes
Oh how I envy those lucky ones
Who got to grow up by your side
I would have loved to know you
For so many years, so many years
You would have become my master
And I, your passionate slave
I would have loved to live in the shadows
To intervene at the slightest breath
To light up your dark hours
To be part of your memories
But tell me about your youth
So I can follow step by step
In your pleasures, in your sadness
In your worries and in your joys
If you only knew how I want to drink
The words from your beloved mouth
You would tell me stories
And never want to stop

You told me your life began
Since you met me
And that you never think back
To the events of your past...

Repeat those things for me again
That penetrate deep into my heart
Ah my love, say those things again
Those things that feel like happiness
Is it true that up there, in your head
Nothing else makes you want?
And that you never regret
Being my man for life…
