Lyrics:

[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

...
