[English]

We’re out of town, but we never run out of cash

...

Star boy, you’re my hero

Ah, every day I wonder if this is just a dream

Everything falls into place because you’re right here with me

Without your love I’m nothing; you mean more than you know

Words fail me whenever you’re near

I tried to put it into words, but they fall short

My pen and paper could never capture it fully

It’s the truth, it’s the truth

We have something real that nothing can break

And when the days get longer

You fill my world with wonder

Everyone needs someone; you’ve been that someone

So stay with me and keep holding on

Never let go, go, go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go, never let go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go, never let go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go, never let go, go, go, go

Never let go

Every town I’m in, you’re the one I’m with, from the start

You’re always the best part of my day

Being yourself, being yourself

In the dark, you were the light that led me to you

I’m grateful for you; it’s simple with you

I’ll never leave you; I’m better with you

It’s so wonderful with you; it’s my turn to give back

For everything you do (oh)

And when the days get longer (yeah)

You fill my world with wonder

Everyone needs someone; you’ve been that someone

So stay with me and keep holding on

Never let go, go, go, go, go, go (oh)

Never let go, go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go, go (oh)

Never let go, go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go, never let go, go, go, go (oh)

Never let go, go, go, go, never let go, go, go, go

Never let go, go, go, go (oh), never let go, go, go, go

Never let go, never let go

...
