In my eyes, in my heart,
and with my every breath, it is you, my girl.
With a soul unseen by human eyes,
it was truly you who lived inside me, girl.
That you are the one,
I realized that very day.
In that overwhelming joy,
I am shattered into tiny pieces, oh oh...
[Music]
In my eyes, in my heart,
and with my every breath, it is you, my girl.
With a soul unseen by human eyes,
it was truly you who lived inside me, girl.
Why does my heart
leap high and bound forward,
crossing over the sea and its waves?
Why does my shadow wander free like a primitive soul,
completely forgetting its attire?
I soared beyond the sky into outer space,
just seeing you makes me fly.
I am overcome with happiness beyond all limits,
beholding you sends chills of delight through me.
An unbearable, overflowing joy,
a boundless bliss that lets me sleep no more.
Hoo hoo ooo oh... hoo oo wow wow
[Music]
In my eyes, in my heart,
and with my every breath, it is you, my girl.
With a soul unseen by human eyes,
it was truly you who lived inside me, girl.
