[English]

I can feel you in the rising tide

Can you feel me by the fire side

From the moonlight

Through the cherry trees

Open the roof and take in the view

'Cuz you're my sweetest dream

Come true

You're my sweetest dream

Come true

You're my sweetest dream come true

Colour the dusk, deep navy blue

And try to be brave

Cause I'll be right beside you

There's a world so high

Hold out your hands

And you can go anywhere

So reach for the stars

Cause I'll be waiting up there

And you can finally fly

Cause you'll be lighter than air

Colour the dusk, deep navy blue

And try to be brave

Cause I'll be right beside you

There's a world so high

Hold out your hands

And you can go anywhere

So reach for the stars

Cause I'll be waiting up there

And you can finally fly

Cause you'll be lighter than air

Cause you'll be lighter than air
