Alive Because of You

I need you so much tonight,
and your gaze that swims over me,
only with you I feel like a woman,
only with you am I so alive.

I watch the stars, waiting for them to say,
that you will come, I know, they don't lie,
together under the starry glow,
we will dance to the rhythm of love,
with a tender embrace.

I call out to you with my heart,
my soul wants you,
to share sweet secrets with you,
and you...as always, unpredictable,
surprise me just the way you know how.

I need you so much tonight,
I want to feel so alive,
if I am guilty of loving you,
then let them declare me guilty.

And let them judge me if necessary,
without you I can't live,
what will my days, nights and hours be,
if there is no heart to warm mine.
