Wenn meine Wimpern
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn meine Wimpern senken 
sich Nachts zur sanften Ruh',
Bist du mein letztes Denken, 
Mein schönstes Traumbild du.

Und wenn sie sich heben
Zum Tageslicht zurück,
Erweckst du mich zum Leben,
Gott segne dich, mein Glück!
