Words I couldn’t say, now
I want to convey my true feelings to you
Even painful memories, I’ll gather them all
And shine them on the star that is you
Wanting to sing a love song
Means I’ve found someone
I want to convey my true feelings to you
Even painful memories, I’ll gather them all
And shine them on the star that is you
Wanting to sing a love song
Means I’ve found someone

I don’t think I can forget that
By your side
You let me live, you watched over me
