Day by day I see you there,
Where you let me, when you let,
Buy your songs, plug up my ears
With your voice I can’t forget,
Learn your language, read your letters,
Hear you saying “It’s alright”.
Where you are, it doesn’t matter:
Every day and every night
I can touch you, I can feel you,
I can tell you all I want.
No more tears, no more fear…
You are happy, are you not?  

Do you guess that I am crazy?
Do you think that I am weak?  

- Have some faith!
  Don’t be so lazy!
  Stop to play your childish tricks!
  Wait a little, you are clever!
  This is it!
  Just one last step!  

Only stars laugh there in heaven:
- Babe, babe, mind the gap!

Never mind, Jerry )
You're delicate, I know, you wouldn't mock at me.
And you've said nothing terrible )

Just one last step...  God I've been there.  A vivid expression of your feelings throughout.  Nicely done.
