[English]

Today this could be, the Greatest Day of our lives

Before it all ends, before we run out of time

Stay close to me

Stay close to me

Watch the world come alive tonight

Stay close to me

Tonight this could be the greatest night of our lives

Let's make a new start

The future is ours to find

Can you see it, can you see it in my eyes

Can you feel it now, can you hold it in your arms tonight

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on

(Tonight)

Hold on, hold on

Oh stay close to me (Hold On)

Stay close to me

Yea the world starts to come alive

When you stay close it me

Today this could be the Greatest Day of our lives
