Ordinary love
Lyrics: Franz Xaver Grömmer / Jo Schulz
Music: Franz Xaver Grömmer


We´ll never be like Romeo and Juliet
never die as heroes of love
we won´t even own a balcony
no time to be a princess - ´cos you got a job

We will never live in a penthouse in a large town
a swimming pool on top of the roof
nothing more than an ordinary tenement-house
bath and toilet on the floor

There will never be a highway
there will never be an airport
any welfare-institution called after us
there will never be a painting
any book or any song
just an unimportant love
in an ordinary life

And I know why the days get better
and I know why I don´t need more than your smile
you´re the only one to fish in troubled waters
catching beautiful dreams like you

Darling would you lean on me on the window-sill
side by side till we are old
darling would you close the window
´cos the world outside is cold

And I know why . . .
