Original lyrics
EN"Dearest Susanne,
My susanne! You of the most gentlest, sweetest heart
that ever beat within a living being! I am too late:
Your spirit has already departed earth.
Today, with my heart weary and broken
I unite your letters with mine between the pages of your diary
I write this final entry to thank you for giving me little michiel;
he is everything a father could wish for
You shall live on through him
I shall treasure him always, as I treasure your memory
Goodbye, my sweet Susanne
Yours always, until the end of days,
-Joseph"
I see his starry eyes
He heals my broken heart
Through him
You'll always be by my side
I hear you call my name
It fades to silence when I wake
A moment lost in time
And now the moment's gone
And now the moment's gone
But the memory lives on
Your memory... Lives on
