Ich Wollte Nie Erwachsen Sein
Peter Maffay
I Never Wanted to Grow Up
I never wanted to grow up
Always fought back
From the outside I became tough as nails
Yet, I was often hurt
Somewhere deep inside me, I remained a child
Only then
When I can't feel it anymore
I know
It's too late for me
Too late
Too late
Down at the bottom of the sea
Where all life remains silent forever
I can still see my dreams
Like air
Rising from the depths
Somewhere deep inside me, I remained a child
Only then
When I can't feel it anymore
I know
It's too late for me
Too late
Too late
I ride through the darkness
And wait for the morning light
Then I play with the sunbeam
That shimmers in the water
Somewhere deep inside me, I remained a child
Only then
When I can't feel it anymore
I know
It's too late for me
Too late
Too late
