It was a brief interruption of a Sunday morning The Sun was high, my heart was stormy It was my last night in town for a while And I just got my mind stuck on your smile This is für Elise I'm sorry I had to go so soon This is für Elise But I had some things I had to do This is für Elise And I know that I'll be missing you This is für Elise But I promise that I'll get back to you It isn't like me to leave you empty-handed It isn't like me to fold a suited pair I guess the cards that I was handed Would be better off if I just left them there This is für Elise I'm sorry I had to go so soon This is für Elise But I had some things I had to do This is für Elise And I know that I'll be missing you This is für Elise But I promise that I'll get back to you If we were hours apart, I would hold you If we were miles away, I would love you And though we're hours apart, I'm thinking for you And though we're miles away, I think I love you This is für Elise I'm sorry I had to go so soon This is für Elise But I had some things I had to do This is für Elise And I know that I'll be missing you This is für Elise But I promise that I'll get back to you
