[English]

You, give me light

So tonight, take me there

I feel your sun

Start to glow and I know it, let me show you that

I want your love, I need your touch

For the rest, of our time together, baby

Come fly with me, eternally

You and me, we were meant to be

Yeah hey

Alright (right now)

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever

Yeah hey

Alright (right now)

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever

Yeah hey

Ooh, it's alright now

I see your eyes

Hold the key, to my paradise

Summer in your smile

Well it makes me feel so real

You tell me things, and my heart sings to the world

From islands in the sky

Take my hand, as one we will stand

You know it's never never, to say hello to forever

Yeah hey

Alright (right now)

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever

Yeah hey

Alright (right now)

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever

Yeah hey

Alright (right now)

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever

Yeah hey

Alright (right now)

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever

Yeah hey

I need your touch

I want your love, so much

I need your touch

And I want your love, so much

I really need it, oh now, tonight

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever

Yeah hey

Alright

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever

Yeah hey

Alright

We'll spend the night together

Wake up and live forever
