Lyrics
Thanks to you, Thanks to you
I took routes I never knew
sweet and crazy, when you're living to the full
Thanks again, my old friend
you were sometimes round the bend
every challenge was a red cloth to a bull
Like a rocket, you were heading for the sky
To the moon, but never asking how and why
Flirty, far beyond what's worthy
just a little thirsty for life in every way
Rascal, not a perfect dancer
still the first to ask her and sneaking out by day
Gentle, rough but sentimental
flowers that you sent her, was not a game you played
Money, quickly spent it's funny
how you made it sunny, when everything was gray
Thanks again, thanks again
never told you this my friend
that without you I would never be the same
Thanks to you, I came through
and when someone speaks of you
I hear myself in the echo of your name
Never wealthy, but you made me understand
Every moment is a diamond in your hand
Scandals, not afraid to gamble
burning down your candle, still glowing in the night
Sailing storms, but not complaining
not afraid of failing you somehow got it right.
Flying, no point in denying
wings are made for trying and sometimes you got high
Living on the edge, but giving
all you had, just driven by the love you had for life
So, my friend, and rascal thank you for the ride
