[English]

I won’t run away just like I promised you before

Oh I run to you just to hold your hands

And then say a prayer

I hope the warmth

from last night stays with you wherever you go

by the end of summer hope you can know

My friend

there ain’t no love like this

can you hold my hand

How long does it take to know

I'd lay down my life for you

If you need a light can I be who you first call to

Cause I know it’s hard to walk down this road

when the night gets so dark

If I could do it over

I’d choose you all over again

by the end of summer hope you can know

My friend

there ain’t no love like this

can you hold my hand

How long does it take to know

I'd lay down my life for you

I won’t leave you alone

Even if when the night feels long

I’ll always be back for you

Like the wind of the summer

My friend

there ain’t no love like this

can you hold my hand

How long does it take to know

I'd lay down my life for you
