Cinderella in love

I understand, it's a serious matter
and you don't want to talk now.
I'll come and pick you up tonight
when you'll leave from work.
 
A short phone call,
you know all too well we are friends.
It isn't true that you're wrong,
we're all a bit sadder.
 
And I listen to you talking barely
from your sweet hiding place.
At the end of this dinner
you tell me you're waiting for a child.
 
He's told you he's not ready
and you can't prove it's his,
he's left you alone and in the meantime
you alone don't know what to do...
 
It was wonderful to feel loved,
in his eyes you saw the sea,
Cinderella in love.
 
You can't bring yourself to tell your father,
to him so proud of his daughter,
you're afraid and you don't want to hurt him
on his armchair, while he yawns.
 
And you're ashamed of your mother,
you don't want to tell her you liked it
to make love, exchange dreams,
when she did it because she had to.
 
What do you want me to say to you,
I can't give you any advice,
maybe you should just understand
if you do really want a child
 
of a one time love,
of a love that isn't love,
and you still think about it at night,
while you cry and you don't know what to do...
 
But it isn't true that you're wrong,
in his eyes you saw the sea,
Cinderella in love.
 
When we leave the restaurant
you seem even smaller,
there's a Moon as a giant
and in the talks it's morning already.
 
Under the hospital's wall
what a terrible decision,
you're so small between the good and bad,
you're so small in front of that door.
 
Then you stop and come back,
in my heart I expected it,
while dawn mists the carglass
you smile to a new love.
 
With the sun I take you home
and in the car you want to sing,
you're as happy as a bride
because you now know what to do...
 
Because you now feel loved
and in your eyes one could see the sea,
cinderella in love.
