[English]

Ooh ooh

In a world where you feel cold

You gotta stay gold

Oh baby

Yeah

An enchanting Moon Light

No sleep again tonight

Guided by the moon light

I run to you, Hide and Seek

Stealing my way into your heart, I draw near

Sidle up close before you know it

Uncorrupted

Those eyes are like diamonds

More beautiful than any other gem

Repeatedly mesmerized by you

Can’t take my eyes off of you No more

Even the clock hand

Stops ticking

Uh let it glow

Stay Gold

Even in your dreams

Stay Gold

I’ll find you

Stay Gold Gold

I want to touch you

Stay Gold

Your entire being

Stay Gold

Enthralls me

Stay Gold

I want you as mine

Stay Gold Stay Gold Stay Gold

Forever, Forever Gold

Making sure I go unnoticed

I move in close, Slowly

I’m warning you Baby, you’re so unguarded

I’ll gently

Make you mine

Deep into you, now…

Racing emotions

Make my heart pound faster

Uh let it show

Stay Gold

As long as I have you

Stay Gold

Don’t need anything else

Stay Gold Gold

Want to hold you

Stay Gold

Love is forever

Stay Gold

Radiating light

Stay Gold

More than any star

Stay Gold Stay Gold Stay Gold

Forever, Forever Gold

Just close your eyes

Don’t say a word

I'll steal your heart

Like magic

If you want a miracle, I’ll show you one (yeah)

Give me your hand

Stay Gold

Even in your dreams

Stay Gold

I’ll find you

Stay Gold Gold

I want to touch you

Stay Gold

Your entire being

Stay Gold

Enthralls me

Stay Gold

I want you as mine

The prying Moon Light

I won’t let you sleep tonight

I hold your hand tight

Don’t want to let go

Stay Gold

Uh yeah
