Look me in the eyes tell me what you see inside of me
Look me in the eyes and tell can you see how much I need You
Take me by the hand tell me what you feel, feel for me
Take me by the hand and tell me is it real or is it just fantasy

@MrOmakiller

Auch wenn es vor Jahren einmal mein Herz zerrissen und bluten lassen hat...
Es mich daran erinnert....
Und es mich erahnen läßt, wie schmerzhaft es damals war....
Für mich immer noch ein Lied zum Träumen und Fliegen...
