[English]

When I first heard your name

My prayers were answered

Like summer rain

But it was over after

One touch together

But for a second

Felt like forever

Just know that

I've reread the page

Do you do the same?

Hope we never fade

If we're just

Ships passing the night

I hope we never see the morning light

It's crazy how the time just seems to fly

But for a moment you and I we caught it

Hadn't seen your face yet

But I know those eyes

You're like a stranger

That I recognize

It flashed it flickered

You couldn't miss it

But God I'll miss this

Just know That

I'll find you every time

In another life

'Til we get it right

Guess we're just

Ships passing the night

I hope we never see the morning light

It's crazy how the time just seems to fly

But for a moment you and I we caught it

And for a moment you and I

We caught It

I'll find you every time

In another life

I'll find you every time

In another life

In another life

Ships passing the night

I hope we never see the morning light

It's crazy how the time just seems to fly

But for a moment you and I we caught it

Ships passing the night

I hope we never see the morning light

We're always chasing time like butterflies

But for a moment you and I, we caught it

We caught it

But for a moment you and I, we caught it
