Oh, Michael, my friend
You’ve left us now
But you’ll stay in our hearts for a long time yet
Forgetting you is something
That will never happen
Your soul is in my songs
Your saxophone plays inside me
But I miss you terribly
As a human being too
Your sense of humour – your spontaneity
Your tranquility
Your serenity
Ref.: There can only ever be one like you
Our music made us free
When will I see you again?
Forgetting you is something
That will never happen
We are firmly anchored in life
But now, Michael,
Off you sail
Far away into the light
Maybe your journey will take you to nirwana
Just you go on ahead and
Reserve a place for me
I won’t be here
For eternity either, you see
We will find each other
The Milky Way will be our highway
And the cosmos will proclaim
Our galactic celebration
Ref.: There can only ever be....
Michael, what’s it like in the light?
Can you hear the music of the spheres?
Can’t you hear it?
(spoken)
Yeah, now I need your saxophone in this song
That would really make me ecstatic
Oh, my friend Michael
Thank you for the times
I was able to spend with you
Forgetting you is something
That will never happen
Oh, my friend Michael
You were so wonderful
But now -
Now I’ve got to let you go.
