Sisi, I know you're sad
Through all the hurt you've had
I can't make it right
Can't win your fight
Although I'd like to

You married far too young
You were a precious one
He stole you away
A new role to play
The empress of Austria
If I had a wish
I wouldn't miss
My chance to say

Sisi I'd braid your hair
Brush away all despair
You flirted with death
To take your last breath
And lead you to heaven

Sisi it makes me sad
You had your babies too
Taken away from you
How did you survive
So long in that life
I couldn't do it
Let's dream that you'll be
Barefoot and free
With all your children

Sisi I'd braid your hair
Brush away all despair
