Lyrics
(from a poem by Paulīne Bārda)
I love, I love you night and day
As a star in the distant sky
And I mourn for this one thing alone
That to love, our lifetime was so short, so short
A long road to heaven's shining meadow
And never could I reach its end
But a longer road leads to your heart
Which to me seems distant as a star
I love, I love you night and day
As a star in the distant sky
And I mourn for this one thing alone
That to love, our lifetime was so short, so short
A long road to heaven's shining meadow
And never could I reach its end
But a longer road leads to your heart
Which to me seems distant as a star

I love, I love you night and day
As a star in the distant sky
And I mourn for this one thing alone
That to love, our lifetime was so short, so short
A long road to heaven's shining meadow
And never could I reach its end
But a longer road leads to your heart
Which to me seems distant as a star, to me
I love, I love you night and day
As a star in the distant sky
And I mourn for this one thing alone
That to love, our lifetime was so short, so short
A long road to heaven's shining meadow
And never could I reach its end
But a longer road leads to your heart
Which to me seems distant as a star
To me, a long road
(Mm... Ah...)
High above the arch of heaven bends
And light so clear is falling
Like a flowering tree the world is blooming
Overwhelmed, my heart both cries and laughs
Like a flowing tree the world is blooming
Overwhelmed, my heart both cries and laughs
A long road to heaven's shining meadow
And never could I reach its end
But a longer road leads to your heart
But a longer road leads to your heart
My love
Which to me seems distant as a star
A long road
