[English]

Baby last night was hands down

One of the best nights

That I've had no doubt

Between the bottle of wine

And the look in your eyes and the Marvin Gaye

Then we danced in the dark under September stars in the pourin' rain

And I know that I can't ever tell you enough

That all I need in this life is your crazy love

If I never get to see the Northern Lights

Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night

Oh if all I got is your hand in my hand

Baby I could die a happy man

...

Happy man, baby, hmmmm

...

Baby and that red dress brings me to my knees

Oh but that black dress makes it hard to breathe

You're a saint, you're a goddess, the cutest, the hottest, the masterpiece

It's too good to be true, nothing better than you

In my wildest dreams

And I know that I can't ever tell you enough

That all need in this life is your crazy love

If I never get to see the Northern Lights

Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night

Oh if all I got is your hand in my hand

Baby I could die a happy man, yeah

...

I don't need no vacation, no fancy destination

Baby you're my great escape

We could stay at home, listen to the radio

Or dance around the fireplace

Oh, if I never get to build my mansion in Georgia

Or drive a sports car up the coast of California

Oh, if all I got is your hand in my hand

Baby I could die a happy man

Baby I could die a happy man

Oh I could die a happy man

You know I could, girl

I could die, I could die a happy man, hmmm
