Why in the state we were in Did we go to to Berlin Well I just can't remember We had built our invisible wall Things were bad that fabled fall We walked through the city that night What a heart-warming sight In the cold of November People danced in the streets And I knew I must too
The day the wall came tumbling down I knew I loved you more than ever My war with you, so petty now Now that the times were changing The world stood still And held its breath A world that always had said never New lease of life is what we found The day the wall came tumbling down
Down by the Brandenburg Gate People cheered, it was great I will never forget it And your eyes as you looked at me then Said it all Let's try again And grand was a glorious day How it swept me away And God knows that I let it I was drunk By the crowd I was in In Berlin
The day the wall came tumbling down I knew I loved you more than ever My war with you, how petty now Now that the times were changing The world stood still And held its breath A world that always had said never New lease of life is what we found The day the wall came tumbling down
