[Verse 1] We used to visit every single year Down in Germany, everything felt clear Lolo smiled, Lola held me tight They made the world feel warm and right I was your "Kleine Maus", your little light You made the holidays shine so bright Christmas trees and hidden eggs in spring And laughter in the songs I'd sing [Chorus] And though you’re gone, you’re not gone to me You're the reason I still believe In kindness, in music, in who I could be You still live in me You still live in me [Verse 2] Lolo left us back in twenty-twelve And Lola flew home by herself From yearly hugs to distant calls We had so little, but I loved it all You gave me twenty euros just to sing That Danish MGP CD meant everything You never knew the words I said But cheered me on with smiling heads [Verse 3] You spoiled me like your precious one Told me "come home," but I just run With laughter, I said "No, not yet" But now I’m filled with deep regret Singing was the thread we shared A language only we declared Though I stayed far across the sea Your song forever lives in me [Chorus] And though you're gone, you're not gone to me You're the echo in my melody In every note and memory You still live in me You still live in me [Bridge] Now I sing the songs you used to love Hoping you still hear above You dreamed I'd stand on a big, bright stage Now you’re part of every page [Final Chorus] So even if the world moved on I carry you in every song In every Christmas light I see You still live in me You still live in me
