Lyrics:

[English]

I woke and you were there

Beside me in the night

You touched me and calmed my fear

Turned darkness into light

...

I woke and saw you there

Beside me as before

My heart leapt to find you near

To feel you close once more

To feel your love once more

Your strength has made me strong

Though life tore us apart

And now when the night seems long

Your love shines in my heart

Your love shines in my heart

...
