God gives,
God takes away
You were a rose
You're not any more
From time to time, 
I think I hear footsteps,
like you're walking across my doorstep
From time to time
And I know I have no right
You're not my darling anymore.
 
There were flying last night
above my roof
Birds were flying,
Migratory birds! 
And I was dreaming 
of your knees
and your kisses.
God gives,
God takes away
You were a rose
You're not any more
From time to time, 
I think I hear footsteps,
like you're walking across my doorstep
From time to time
And I know I have no right
You're not my darling anymore.
