[English]

When tomorrow comes, I'll be on my own

Feeling frightened of the things that I don't know

When tomorrow comes, tomorrow comes

Tomorrow comes

And though the road is long, I look up to the sky

And in the dark I found lost hope that I won't fly

And I sing along, I sing along

And I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I

I look around me, and see a sweet life

Stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight

You're getting me, getting me through the night

Kick start my heart when you're shining in my eyes

Can't lie, it's a sweet life

Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight

You're getting me, getting me through the night

'Cause you're my flashlight

You're my flashlight

You're my flashlight

I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top

I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop

'Cause you light the way, you light the way

You light the way

I got all I need when I got you and I

I look around me, and see a sweet life

Stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight

You're getting me, getting me through the night

Kick start my heart when you're shining in my eyes

Can't lie, it's a sweet life

Stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight

You're getting me, getting me through the night

Oh, I got you and I

You're my flashlight

'Cause you're my flashlight

You're my flashlight

You're my flashlight, oh-oh
