Lyrics & Translation

[English]

- Pedro, Pedro, a little too aggressive.

Not hatin' on your creativity, but I think I got this one.

Follow my lead.

♪ Wasn't really thinkin', wasn't lookin' ♪

♪ Wasn't searchin' for an answer ♪

♪ In the moonlight ♪

♪ When I saw your face ♪

♪ Saw you lookin' at me ♪

♪ Saw you peekin' out from under moonbeams ♪

♪ Through the palm trees ♪

♪ Swayin' in the breeze ♪

♪ I know I'm feelin' so much more than ever before ♪

♪ And so I'm givin' more to you than I thought I could do ♪

♪ Don't know how it happened, don't know why ♪

♪ But you don't really need a reason ♪

♪ When the stars shine ♪

♪ Just to fall in love ♪

♪ Made to love each other ♪

♪ Made to be together for a lifetime ♪

♪ In the sunshine ♪

♪ Flying in the sky ♪

♪ I know I'm feelin' so much more than ever before ♪

♪ And so I'm givin' more to you than I thought I could do ♪

♪ Oh... ♪

♪ Now I know love is real ♪

♪ So when sky high, as the angels try ♪

♪ Letting you and I fly love ♪
