Hey, it's not that late 00:23
You came here for a moment of love 00:29
Just a bit of space 00:36
A change here from the city of love 00:42
I wrote your name down on the hillside in my mind 00:50
I wrote your name down 00:56
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head 01:01
And ooh, I breathe a little deeper with every breath (with every breath) 01:07
But hope for the future got me on my knees 01:14
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head 01:20
Whoa-oh 01:28
The breeze here always stirs 01:33
The grasses of your memories, alive 01:39
I wrote your name down on the hillside in my mind 01:47
I wrote your name down 01:54
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head (here in my head) 01:59

Thought that I could hear you whisper softly 02:31
Can't be only me that hears the sound 02:35
But it's the ones in charge who write the history each time 02:37
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head 02:44
And ooh, I breathe a little deeper with every breath (with every breath) 02:50
But hope for the future got me on my knees 02:57
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head (I keep a picture, I keep a picture) 03:03

[English]

Hey, it's not that late
You came here for a moment of love
Just a bit of space
A change here from the city of love
I wrote your name down on the hillside in my mind
I wrote your name down
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head
And ooh, I breathe a little deeper with every breath (with every breath)
But hope for the future got me on my knees
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head
Whoa-oh
The breeze here always stirs
The grasses of your memories, alive
I wrote your name down on the hillside in my mind
I wrote your name down
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head (here in my head)
And ooh, I breathe a little deeper with every breath
But hope for the future got me on my knees
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head
Whoa-oh-oh

Thought that I could hear you whisper softly
Can't be only me that hears the sound
But it's the ones in charge who write the history each time
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head
And ooh, I breathe a little deeper with every breath (with every breath)
But hope for the future got me on my knees
And ooh, I keep a picture of you here in my head (I keep a picture, I keep a picture)
Whoa-oh-oh
