[English]

Your morning eyes, I could stare like watching stars

I could walk you by, and I'll tell without a thought

You'd be mine, would you mind if I took your hand tonight?

Know you're all that I want this life

I'll imagine we fell in love

I'll nap under moonlight skies with you

I think I'll picture us, you with the waves

The ocean's colors on your face

I'll leave my heart with your air

So let me fly with you

Will you be forever with me?

...

...

You're my favorite place

So always, I will stay

The look that's on your face

I think you feel the same

Fate is an artist, and you'll be my muse

I love you, I love you, I love you, I do

If you are the ocean, then I am the blue

I love you, I love you, I love you, I do

I'll imagine we fell in love

I'll nap under moonlight skies with you

I think I'll picture us, you with the waves

The ocean's colors on your face

I'll leave my heart with your air

So let me fly with you

Will you be forever with me?

  ➔ Modal verb ‘could’ + base verb (ability / possibility)

  ➔ The word "could" expresses a potential ability or possibility in the past or hypothetical present.

• You'd be mine, **would you mind if I took** your hand tonight?

  ➔ Polite request with ‘would you mind if …?’ + past simple

  ➔ The phrase "would you mind if I took" is used to ask permission politely; the verb after ‘if’ is in the past simple to show hypothetical action.

• **If you are** the ocean, then I **am** the blue

  ➔ Zero conditional (present simple + present simple)

  ➔ "If you are" introduces a condition that is always true; "am" states the result in the same tense.

  ➔ "will" expresses a firm intention or prediction about the future; here it shows the speaker’s commitment.

• I **love** you, I love you, I love you, I **do**

  ➔ Emphatic ‘do’ for emphasis (affirmative)

  ➔ The auxiliary verb "do" is added before the main verb to give extra emphasis to the statement "I love you".

• I'll **imagine we fell** in love

  ➔ Future with ‘will’ + verb + past simple in subordinate clause (imagined situation)
