Red hasn't been red for a long time
_____
The red of red roses
_____
The color of love of days gone by
_____
That lovely red was once for me
_____
The color of passion and of wine
_____
I want it back, that beautiful time
_____
But it seems long gone
_____
Of blood and war around us
_____
Don't exactly help with that either
_____
So I very consciously decide
_____
Today red is the color of your lips
_____
Today red is what red's supposed to be
_____
Today red comes from red white blue
_____
With all my heart for you
_____
Shout from the red-covered rooftops that I love you
_____
Today red is just love again between you and me
_____
I walk through the door and outside where the sun starts to shine
_____
Leave everything behind, look ahead and with my last red cent
_____
I buy an oversized bunch of one hundred fifty red roses
_____
One for every year I hope you'll still be with me
_____
Today red is the color of your lips
_____
Today red is what red's supposed to be
_____
Today is red, from red white blue
_____
With all my heart for you
_____
Shout from the red-covered rooftops that I love you
_____
Today red is just love again between you and me
_____
Now you're standing here before me
_____
The red evening sun strokes your face
_____
You're a wonder to me
_____
I think, while a thorn pricks my finger
_____
Red is my blood that falls to the ground
And for a moment I seem lost
_____
But you bring my fingers to your mouth
_____
Today red is the color of your lips
_____
Today red is what red's supposed to be
_____
Today is red, from red white blue
_____
With all my heart for you
_____
Shout from the red-covered rooftops that I love you
_____
Today red is just love again between you and me
_____
And drink a good glass of wine
_____
Seize the day 'cause it could suddenly be the last
_____
Today red is just love again between you and me
_____
Today red once again stands for love
