[English]

This girl is like a dream

My wildest fantasy

And right when I think I’m gon’ wake up

She’s pullin’ me right back in

To serenity

Girl I can’t believe you’re so unreal

Oh it’s just somethin’ about the way you move

You’re like a flower in bloom

It’s crazy how you can make me

Forget what I’ve been doin’

Oh it’s a problem and growin’ more and more each day

Girl whisper your sweet nothings in my ear

‘Cause every word can speak to my soul

It’s outta my control

Oh when you say my name

It sounds like a song

And I’d listen all day long

Oh I don’t understand it

But I can’t turn it off

Baby don’t ever stop

Sweet talk to me babe

It’s magical

Sweet lullaby

Oh it’s so hypnotizin’

Sweet talk to me babe

It’s magical

I wanna hear you sing it every night

I can’t help this feelin’

Like I know your secrets

Hope it lasts forever, I want it, I want it

Whisperin’ so gently

Eyelids gettin’ heavy

Make it last forever, I want it, I want it

You make me ay, ay, ay

You got me driftin’ in and out of this slumber

You make me ay, ay, ay

I know for sure I never wanna wake up

Lovin’ the touch of your fingers

In my hair it still lingers

Tell me is it truth or fiction baby

Still can’t believe you and me are makin’ music each day

Anythin’ from your lips got me thinkin' it’s all okay

I don’t need fortune or the fame

As long as I’m with you

Oh when you say my name

It sounds like a song

And I’d listen all day long

Oh I don’t understand it

But I can’t turn it off

Baby don’t ever stop

Sweet talk to me babe

It’s magical

Sweet lullaby

Oh it’s so hypnotizin’

Sweet talk to me babe

It’s magical

I wanna hear you sing it every night

I can’t help this feelin’

Like I know your secrets

Hope it lasts forever, I want it, I want it

Whisperin’ so gently

Eyelids gettin’ heavy

Make it last forever, I want it, I want it

If I’m dreaming, don’t ever wake me up

I wanna hear your melody, the only thing I could need

‘Cause if I had to live without you I’d be lost

And in this moment, I want more

Sweet talk to me babe

It’s magical

Sweet lullaby

Oh it’s so hypnotizin’

Sweet talk to me babe

It’s magical

I wanna hear you sing it every night

Sweet talk to me babe

It’s magical
