The shore the sea searches for here,
you are that shore, my girl.
And I am the day that parts from the night, my girl.
My heart told me that you are mine.
When you are near, it is always heaven.
You are always my heaven.
The shore the sea searches for here,
you are that shore, my girl.
And I am the day that parts from the night, my girl.
My heart told me that you are mine.
When you are near, it is always heaven.
You are always my heaven.
The shore the sea searches for here,
you are that shore, my girl.
And I am the day that parts from the night, my girl.
What is this change within me?
Even I do not know.
You are my star, my darling.
Are your eyes a magnet?
Won't they draw me in?
Has just one single word become my whole life?
What more do I need?
Just a little time is enough,
just to love, with you by my side.
With you by my side.
The shore the sea searches for here,
you are that shore, my girl.
And I am the day that parts from the night, my girl.
The gentle breeze whispered,
but the bee does not listen.
There is no one more perfect than you.
I wander around looking for you,
and I truly enjoy this life.
Even blindfolded, I find myself smiling.
Just to pamper me softly,
only you should look at me.
Hiding your shyness,
only you should smile.
Only you should smile.
The shore the sea searches for here,
you are that shore, my girl.
And I am the day that parts from the night, my girl.
