Refrain:
Zwei Herzen im Mai
die hatten sich lieb
der Lenz ging vorbei
die Liebe blieb.
Zwei Herzen im Leid
in Stunden so trüb
es eilte die Zeit
die Liebe blieb.
So soll es sein und so wird es sein
und so muß es sein
wir lassen uns nie allein.
Zwei Herzen im Mai
die hatten sich lieb
der Lenz ging vorbei
die Liebe blieb.
Vert :
1. Heut' in der Nacht
heut' in der Nacht
bin ich aus einem Traum erwacht
und hab' für dich und auch für mich
dann dieses Lied erdacht.
2. Silbernes Haar
silbernes Paar
denkt nun zurück
wie's einmal war;
Schauen sich an
sagen sich dann:
