[English]

So many nights I was in the cold

Sleeping alone here without you

And every time I tried to make it home

I would be lost in the moonlight

I heard you calling

Just like the leaves up in autumn

My heart was hopelessly falling

For you

Every time

That I see your summer eyes

I’m in love

I swear I’m in heaven

Deeper into your ocean

I could stay forever with

You

I stare into your summer eyes

You

I stare into your summer eyes

It’s like paradise swimming in your golden eyes

Build our castle in the sand

Watch the sunset holding hands

And as the years go by

Love you more with every sunrise

I heard you calling

Just like the leaves up in autumn

My heart was hopelessly falling

For you

Every time

That I see your summer eyes

I’m in love

I swear I’m in heaven

Deeper into your ocean

I could stay forever with

You

I stare into your summer eyes

You

I stare into your summer eyes

Through the wind

Through the rain

Yeah we stay the same love

Can’t pretend

Can’t explain

But you live in my blood

I guess it’s true

Until the end of time

When I see your summer eyes

I’m in love

I swear that I’m in heaven

When I see your summer eyes

I’m in love

I swear I’m in heaven

Deeper into your ocean

I could stay forever with

You

I stare into your summer eyes

You

I stare into your summer eyes
