rood

Rude has not been red for a long time
The red of red roses
The color of love from the past
Seems to be chosen by hate
That beautiful red was once mine
The color of passion and wine
I want that beautiful time back
But she seems long gone
And all the images on TV
Of blood and war around us
Don't really help

So I consciously make the decision
I put the newspaper away and turn off the TV

Today is red
The color of your lips
Today is red
What red should be
Today is,
red from red white blue
From all my heart for you
I shout from the red-covered rooftops
that I love you
Today is just love again between you and me

I walk through the door and outside where the sun begins to shine
Leave everything behind, I look ahead and with my last red cent
I buy a way too big bouquet of 150 red roses
One for each year that I hope you're still with me

Today is red
The color of your lips
Today is red
What red should be
Today is, red from red white blue
From all my heart for you
I shout from the red-covered rooftops
that I love you
Today is just love again between you and me

Now you stand here in front of me
The red evening sun caresses your face
You are a wonder to me
I think as a thorn pricks my finger
Red is my blood falling to the ground
And for a moment I seem lost
But you bring my fingers to your mouth
And you kiss
and I know

Today is red
The color of your lips
Today is red
What red should be
Today is, red from red white blue
From all my heart for you
I shout from the red-covered rooftops
that I love you
Today is just love again between you and me

Today is red
Roll out the red carpet and have a good glass of wine
Seize the day, because it could be the last one soon
Today is just love again between you and me
Today red stands for the love between you and me
