[English]

Love is amazing

Ah...

You are my starlight, 내 맘을 비춰, uh

함께 있으면 온종일 꿈꾸는 기분

You are my starlight, 참 행복해져

선물 같아 너란 사랑

혼자가 익숙했던 회색 빛의 나의 하루에

사뿐히 다가와선 날 두드린 그 날을 기억해

빛처럼 날 비춰 어둠에서 나를 깨우곤

닫힌 맘의 창을 열어 줬어

내 눈에 비친 잔뜩 찡그린, yeah

어색한 얼굴 뒤로 조금씩 웃어보던 너

사랑스러워, 참을 수 없었지, oh

기적처럼 발견한 넌, 늘 미소 짓게 해, you're my starlight...

You are my starlight, 내 맘을 비춰, uh

함께 있으면 온종일 꿈꾸는 기분

You are my starlight, 참 행복해져

선물 같아 너란 사랑

아무런 의미 없던 아주 사소한 일상들도

처음 본 세상처럼 새로운 느낌 난 매일 놀라

어느새 날 바꿔 텅 비어 있던 내 얼굴 위로

새로운 날 그려 줘

You are my starlight, 내 맘을 비춰, uh (you, you, you, you, you, you)

함께 있으면 온종일 꿈꾸는 기분

You are my starlight, 참 행복해져 (oh, no no no no)

선물 같아 너란 사랑 (선물 같아)

맘이 흐린 날에도

맑게 개어 너를 본 순간

오직 너만으로 충분해

널 그저 바라만 봐도

입가에 번지는 기쁨

이토록 날 웃게 할 한 사람 너뿐이야!

You are my starlight, 감출 수 없어 (ooh...)

함께 있으면 내 맘이 춤추는 기분

You are my starlight, 참 감사해져

꿈만 같아 너란 사랑

You are my starlight

My emotion, you feel me

별처럼 빛나는 나를 봐, oh

매일 깨달아...

You're my starlight, yeah...

Mmh, yeah (oh yeah)

My baby, baby, mmh...
