In the morning light,
At the moment dreams fade away,
I was waiting for you, my girl,
Just to see your lips smile.
In the morning light,
At the moment dreams fade away,
I was waiting for you, my girl,
Just to see your lips smile.
In the stillness of the night,
Why did shyness become a disguise?
Is there moisture on our eyelids?
Do we still need this distance between us?
In the morning light,
At the moment dreams fade away,
I was waiting for you, my girl,
Just to see your lips smile.
In the morning light,
At the moment dreams fade away,
I was waiting for you, my girl,
Just to see your lips smile.
In the stillness of the night,
Why did shyness become a disguise?
Is there moisture on our eyelids?
Do we still need this distance between us?
As hesitation, all alone,
Stumbles,
Loses its way,
And gets completely lost,
As hesitation, all alone,
Stumbles,
Loses its way,
And gets completely lost,
With closed eyes, I enjoyed
The way your hands
Teased me and touched me.
I hated the distance between us,
As your gaze
Embraced and brushed against me.
Why do we need words, my love?
Are explanations needed anymore?
This is a brand new story,
A prologue to the days ahead.
In the morning light,
At the moment dreams fade away,
Male: I was waiting for you, my girl,
Just to see your lips smile.
In the stillness of the night,
