Minneliedjes

Song Cycle by Korstiaan Stougie (1908 - 1988)

4. Gij staat zo heel, heel stil  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Gij staat zoo heel, heel stil
met uwe handen, ik wil
u zeggen een zoo lief wat,
maar 'k weet niet wat.
 
Uw schoudertjes zijn zoo mooi,
om u is lichtgedooi,
warm, warm, warm - stil omhangen
van warmte, ik doe verlangen.
 
Uw oogen zijn zoo blauw
als klaar water - ik wou
dat ik eens even u kon zijn,
maar 't kan niet, ik blijf van mijn.
 
En ik weet niet wat 't is wat
ik u zeggen wil- 't was toch wat.
