[English]

Saw you from the distance

Saw you from the stage

Something 'bout the look in your eyes

Something 'bout your beautiful face

In a sea of people

There was only you

I never knew what this song was about

But suddenly now I do

Trying to reach out to you

Touch my hand

Reach out as far as you can

Only me, only you, and the band

Trying to reach out to you

Touch my hand

Can't let the music stop

Can't let this feeling end

'Cause if I do it'll all be over

I'll never see you again

Can't let the music stop

Until I touch your hand

'Cause if I do it'll all be over

I'll never get the chance again

I'll never get the chance again

I'll never get the chance again

I see the sparkle of a million flashlights

I wonder why all the stars

But the one that's shining out so bright

Is the one right where you are

Trying to reach out to you

Touch my hand

Reach out as far as you can

Only me, only you, and the band

Trying to reach out to you

Touch my hand

Can't let the music stop

Can't let this feeling end

'Cause if I do it'll all be over

I'll never see you again

Can't let the music stop

Until I touch your hand

'Cause if I do it'll all be over

I'll never get the chance again

I'll never get the chance again

Saw you from the distance

Saw you from the stage

Something 'bout the look in your eyes

Something 'bout your beautiful face,

Can't let the music stop

Can't let this feeling end

'Cause if I do it'll all be over

I'll never see you again

Can't let the music stop

Until I touch your hand

'Cause if I do it'll all be over

I'll never get the chance again

I'll never get the chance again

Trying to reach out to you

Touch my hand (I'll never get the chance again)

Reach out as far as you can (I'll never get the chance again)

Only me, only you, and the band

Trying to reach out to you

Touch my hand

Yeah, yeah
