Beneath my feet
is the sky, as love turns me into a cloud.
Like a billion flowers
inside my heart,
a divine angel blossomed.
I feel like saying so many things,
yet I cannot find any words.
My mind keeps wondering what your name is,
and my eyes have been stolen away, hey yeah hey.
Without speaking, you said so much and left.
Without searching, you made me search for you and walked away.
For all the days of my life,
girl, it is enough if you just come with me.
...
Beneath my feet
is the sky, as love turns me into a cloud.
Like a billion flowers
inside my heart,
a divine angel blossomed.
I feel like saying so many things,
wondering what your name could be.
