When my son gets married
And I see both in full bloom
Ill embrace hell and all heavens
And Ill be drunk with love
Ill be drunk with love
When laughter has subsided
And the house is lying still
And sleep is far from coming
Ill be drunk with love
Ill be drunk with love
And should my brother call me
And ask me to forgive him
Ill drop my rusty armour
And Ill be drunk with love
Ill be drunk with love
And I hope that Ill be drunk all night long
And that you are with me
My only son
And should the wheels be turning
In unexpected ways
Ill sacrifice my yearning
And Ill be drunk with love
Ill be drunk with love
And should the road desert me
And despair creep in
Ill draw back the curtain
And Ill be drunk with love
Ill be drunk with love
And I hope that Ill be drunk all night long
And that you are with me
My only son
And comes my final hour
And the angels wait above
Please, bring me wild flowers
And Ill be drunk with love
Ill be drunk with love
