When I first met you
You were a little girl
A violet in your hair
You said to me with a smile
That you wanted to fly far away like a bird

When I met you again
You looked so thin
Sweat beads on your forehead
You said to me with a smile
Tears come over the littlest things

When I saw you for the last time
You looked so peaceful
Looking far ahead out the window
You said to me with a smile
That you wanted to be awake even in the middle of the night
