[English]

When minutes become hours

...

When days become years

...

And I don't know where you are

Colours seems so dull without you

...

Have we lost our minds?

...

What have we done?

But it all doesn't seem to matter anymore

...

When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back

...

You held me in your arms, I held you in mine

...

You picked me up to lay me down

...

When I look into your eyes

I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I

...

I'm drenched in your love

...

I'm no longer able to hold it back

...

Is it too late to ask for love?

...

Is it wrong to feel right?

...

When the world is winding down

Thoughts of you linger around

...

Have we lost our minds?

...

What have we done?

But it all doesn't seem to matter anymore

...

When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back

...

You held me in your arms, I held you in mine

...

You picked me up to lay me down

...

When I look into your eyes

I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I

...

I'm drenched in your love

...

I'm no longer able to hold it back

...

When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back

...

You held me in your arms, I held you in mine

...

You picked me up to lay me down

...

When I look into your eyes

I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I

...

I'm drenched in your love

...

I'm no longer able to hold it back

...
