[English]
Where did it go, nobody knows
I thought that we had something
Why do we know?
I want it all
Hey, that could be worth something
Lay your head in my hands
Oh come on, stay right here if you can
And why don't we turn back time for tonight?
Before I run to
Oh come on and lay down here in the fire
Though we would know
Diamonds and gold
Hey, was it all for nothin'?
Tears that may fall, on the pillow
Now that's gotta be worth something
Lay your head in my hands
Oh come on
Stay the night if you can
And why don't we turn back time for tonight?
Oh come on and lay down here in the fire
For a while, oh
And why don't we turn?
And why don't we turn?
What about one last night for goodbyes?
