[English]

You don't need a million reasons

to smile without a reason

I've got one, will you stay?

And it's always the perfect season

to never stop believing

love works in mysterious ways

It's raining in the desert

I heard it on the news

The sun won't even shine anymore

Since I'm not there with you

I'll pick you up with flowers

roses red or blue

a mattress and a table just for two

a table just for two

it's only me and you

I'll stay here forever

I promise that is true

a table just for two

it's only me and you

I can make you breakfast

and you can be my muse

Just four walls without your laughter

a book with empty chapters

a dock without a bay

and tell me what is the meaning

of life without this feeling

and the sky is grey

It's raining in the desert

I heard it on the news

The sun won't even shine anymore

Since I'm not there with you

I'll pick you up with flowers

roses red or blue

a mattress and a table just for two

a table just for two

it's only me and you

I'll stay here forever

I promise that is true

a table just for two

it's only me and you

I can make you breakfast

you could be my la la la la

You, you could be my muse

You could be my muse

You could be my muse

You could be my muse

Ooh

La la la la la
