One By One [German translation]

One by one my teardrops fall as I write to you

One by one my dreams are fading fast away

One by one my hopes keep docking in the twilight

One by one my words come falling on the page

One by one my hair is turning grey

One by one my dreams are fading fast away

One by one I read your letters over

One by one I lay them all away

One by one my flowers are fading in the sunrise

One by one the leaves keep falling from my trees

One by one these wrinkles feel across my brow, dear

One by one my snowflakes tumble in the breeze

One by one my years of youth are passing by me

One by one the sweetest days of life go by

One by one the hours slipping up behind you

One by one she'll find not you and I

One by one my hair is turning grey

One by one my dreams are fading fast away

One by one I read your letters over

One by one I lay them all away

One by one I hear your sweet voice whisper

One by one I feel your kisses on my cheek

One by one I hope you'll say the words to marry

One by one, one by one we'll forever be

One by one my hair is turning grey

One by one my dreams are fading fast away

One by one I read your letters over

One by one I lay them all away
