Unbenannt

There was a little tiny girl in that big big house
And she didn't care what money was
And how to dress herself
But she loved to walk 'round in the garden out there
She picked all the flowers from everywhere
And she put them all in a photo book
And they made her smile when she took a look

But sometimes at night when she was totally alone
She started to cry when her tears fell down
And she collected them all in a little tiny glass
And she hid it well in that big big house
But nobody knew she felt sad and cold
How could they knew? She had never told...

And the little tiny girl grew up and beautiful
She lifed her life like all of them do
And she dreamed of her prince on a tall white horse
who'll take her away from that big big house
And she dreamed of her happy end, a wedding in white
And his bright blue eyes shining through the night
And when she sad by the sea, her toes in the sand
She could fly away to a far far land

But sometimes at night when she was totally alone
She started to cry when her tears fell down
And she collected them all in a little tiny glass
And she hid it well in that big big house
But nobody knew she felt sad and cold
How could they knew? She had never told...

And the little tiny girl got old and grey
She lived her life and she found her way
But her prince never came, and she'd never found love
She decided at least to visit God above
And she asked Him to send her a happy end
And God smiled for a while and He took her by the hand
And the little tiny girl died in quiet and peace
And all she left was a glass full of tears...
