It must be a wonderful thing
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
It must be a wonderful thing for two souls to be in love, locking each other in so completely, never concealing a word; and joy and grief, and happiness and hardship - enduring these with each other from the first kiss until death, speaking together only with love.
