[English]

I couldn't tell you a thing about that night

Between the drinks and the blinding lights

But even if just for a moment or two

I danced with you, I danced with you, I danced with you

Stumbling onto an empty street

Almost escaping my memories

But in the morning when I came to

I thought of you, I thought of you, I thought of you

Every step I take

Everywhere I go

I see your face, unforgettable

Every heart you break

You will never know

I see your face, unforgettable

...

Unforgettable

...

Unforgettable

Of every beautiful lie that I've been told

Yours is the one I like the most

Yours is the one that I hold so close

Give up the ghost, give up the ghost, give up the ghost

It was just one night, it was just one night

Now I can't get off of my mind

It was just one time, it was just one time

Even if you'll never be mine

Every step I take

Everywhere I go

I see your face, unforgettable

Every heart you break

You will never know

I see your face, unforgettable

...

Unforgettable

...

I see your face, unforgettable

...

I see your (unforgettable)

I see your

Unforgettable

...

I see your face, unforgettable

Every step I take

Everywhere I go

I see your face, unforgettable

Every heart you break

You will never know

I see your face, unforgettable

Every step I take

Everywhere I go

I see your face, unforgettable

Every heart you break

You will never know

I see your face, unforgettable
