You come alive like a short film,
You leap right out of the screen,
You come so close to me,
You make my world spin with wonder.
You thief of light, you pull me in,
You steal away my eyes,
You enchant the whole world,
And you direct my heart.
Oh girl, my girl,
Ever since you arrived,
I drifted a little off track!
Female: My love, my love,
Ever since you arrived,
I finally felt love.
You come alive like a short film,
You leap right out of the screen,
Leaping out,
You come so close to me,
Coming close,
You make my world spin with wonder.
From words that get tangled and melt away,
You draw out the love hidden inside.
From words stripped of all makeup,
You cherish the truth within.
Changing its rhythm and flowing on,
I turn into a song, oh,
Even with my ears closed,
I can still hear you,
deep within me.
You come alive like a short film,
You leap right out of the screen,
You come so close to me,
You make my world spin with wonder.
As if asking, "Can this earth get any prettier?",
your eyes make it even more beautiful.
Female: Oh, making you the center of focus,
this love changes everything.
On the ticking hands of my clock,
flowers are blooming, oh...
Female: In your eyes,
I see my love,
please do not close them.
You come alive like a short film,
You leap right out of the screen,
Leaping out,
You come so close to me,
Coming close,
You make my world spin with wonder.
Oh girl, my girl,
Ever since you arrived,
I drifted a little off track!
Female: My love, my love,
Ever since you arrived,
I finally felt love.
