After I had figured out that the subject of the song had to be happy memories rather than dismal ones I simply had to invent a few joyful moments one might like to remember about a partnership. It was as simple as that. Rhyming was not so simple. Consequently, in the verses only the last two out of four lines rhyme, and in the first verse even these only just:
I watched you in the dancing hall, you looked just like an angel
spellbound I stood and stared, swift and fluid were your movements
I had to overcome my shyness, so I joined the dancers
we both saw it in our eyes: we belonged together
we had so many happy days, I will not forget them
fun and friends, parties with no end when we let it all hang out
Spain, Greece, a whole new world we discovered together
fin'ly we had to find out: life is not perpetual pleasure
I matched the tune pretty well, though not precisely. In three places Karsten will have to simplify the tune a little, which makes it easier to sing anyway.
