I fell in love with a beautiful girl in 1789 But her life was so short - a knife in her heart A secret between her lips And I cannot cry for you And I cannot cry for you She's my best, my best best girlfriend Love is growing stronger I saw that girl for a second time in 1922 When I looked in her heart She broke into the ice A secret between her lips And I cannot cry for you And I cannot cry for you She's my best, my best best girlfriend Love is growing stronger I had last night an awful dream - 1999 She's got a gun on suicide day A secret between her lips And I cannot cry for you And I cannot cry for you She's my best, my best best girlfriend
