Guardian Angel
Masquerade (DE) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A fleetin' glimpse of your heart losing right from the start - no return,
And things will never be the same.
I feel I'm falling apart ′cause I know I′ve lost my guardian angel.
A fleetin' glimpse of your heart losing right from the start - no return,
And things will never be the same.
Words of comfort, words that never criticize.
Though I know you′re simply laughing at me,
I just can't stop and simply let it be.
Where are all those feelings of my yesterdays?
Feelings now, I have, bring back those bad ol′ ways.
Though I know you wanna turn and blow,
I just can't stop and simply let you go.
I feel I′m falling apart 'cause I know I've lost my guardian angel.
A fleetin′ glimpse of your heart losing right from the start - no return,
And things will never be the same.
Let me see you smile once more that special way;
Warm as summer, on a chilly winter′s day.
Though I know you're simply laughing at me,
I just can′t stop and simply let it be.
I feel I'm falling apart ′cause I know I've lost my guardian angel.
A fleetin′ glimpse of your heart losing right from the start - no return,
And things will never be the same.
I feel I'm falling apart 'cause I know I′ve lost my guardian angel.
A fleetin′ glimpse of your heart losing right from the start - no return,
And things will never be the same.

Das war eine Zeit mit guter Musik.Ich vermisse diese Zeit ❤😢
@b.gerdien
Ruhe in Frieden, lieber Drafi Deutscher, das Lied ist auch 2024 wunderschön und ich glaube, du wurdest zeitlebens verkannt. Das Musikbusiness ist ein Haifischbecken.

Er war ein genialer Musiker, viele viele tolle Projekte - aber Genie und Sucht liegen oft beeinander.
