[English]

When I was young

I fell in love

She was a goddess

With a world inside of her mind

When she moved on

Something went wrong

She took my power

And the love I had inside

Now that I found you

I don't know how to

If I could fall

In love again

I'd fall in love with you

If I could change

A grain of sand

Into a pearl I would

I pray in time

I'll come to find

Away to break through

And save this heart of mine

You've waited long

If you can't hold on

I wouldn't blame you

I don't think I'd be that strong

What am I to do

If I can't have you

If I could fall

In love again

I'd fall in love with you

If I could change

A grain of sand

Into a pearl I would

You love me so

Even though I don't know

How do you deal

With a man like me

If I could fall

In love again

I'd fall in love with you

If I could change

A grain of sand

Into a pearl I would

I would, I would, I would

...
