Love is a shield to hide behind, love is a field to grow inside
   And when I sometimes close my eyes
   My mind starts spinning around
   Love is a baby in a mother's arms
   Love is your breath which makes me warm
   And when I sometimes close my eyes
   My mind starts spinning around
  
   There is a feeling that flows through me
   When you are near you make it real
   And we could live for this ideal
   And all the pictures we run through
   Seem to be perfect, seem to be true
   But nothing is quite forever, especially staying together
  
   Love is a shield to hide behind, love is a field to grow inside
   And when I sometimes close my eyes
   My mind starts spinning around
   Love is a baby in a mother's arms
   Love is your breath which makes me warm
   And when I sometimes close my eyes
   My mind starts spinning around
  
   Love is a shield ...
  
   I don't care now, what comes along
   What counts is us, no matter what will be, just this naivety
   The changing words we're taking in
   Seem to be perfect, seem to win
   But nothing is quite forever, especially staying together
  
   Love is a shield ...
