Testo Bitter - Sweet

Well this is such A sad affairI've opened up my heartSo many timesBut now it's closedOh my dearEvery salted tearIt wringsBitter - sweet applauseBut when the show's in full swingEvery once in a whileHigh stepping chorus linesMean I'm forgettingMein lullaby - LiebchenHow rich in contrastLove can beSometimes I'm quite amusedTo see it twist and turnTo taste - both sweet and dryThese vintage years!Lovers you consume, my friendAs others their wineNein- das ist nicht Das Ende der WeltGestrandet an Leben und KunstUnd das Spiel geht weiterWie man weissNoch viele schönste Wiedersehn ...And now, as you turn to leaveYou try to force a smile -As if to compensate - Then you break down and cry(1974)
