[English]

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

...

Am I slowly driftin' away from you, my dear?

...

Are you at peace about it?

Or should we try to work things out?

'Cause the Lord knows they say you're better off without me

And I've been slowly dyin'

Since the angels brought you down

Is this just a fantasy?

A fucked up game of make-believe?

Could you still be the one for me? Oh

Am I just dreamin'?

...

Dreamin'

Am I just dreamin'?

Dreamin'

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

...

And you know they all say that the truth'll set you free

...

But I'm not ready for it

I don't really wanna see

'Cause when the road gets rough I'll always had you near

...

I don't wanna walk alone now

I don't wanna live without you here

Is this just a fantasy?

A fucked up game of make-believe?

Could you still be the one for me? Oh

...

Am I just dreamin'? (Am I just still dreamin' now?)

...

Dreamin' (baby, am I just still dreamin'? I'm just dreamin')

...

Am I just dreamin'? (No, am I just dreamin'?)

...

Dreamin' (ooh, am I just still dreamin'? I'm just)

...

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (say there's somethin' now)

...

Ooh-ooh (I'm just)

...

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (you can come around)

...

Ooh-ooh (say there's somethin' now)

...

Do you really wanna leave me? Do you really wanna go?

...

And one day you might come runnin' back, but I guess I'll never know

...

When the free rides all are over

And there's no more pot of gold

Do you really wanna leave me? Do you really wanna go?

...

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

...

Ooh-ooh

...

(Am I just dreamin'?)Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (say there's somethin' now)

...

(Dreamin') ooh-ooh (say there's somethin' now)

...

Oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, woah

...

It's quite nice

It's slow, but it was like-
