The seconds were forgotten,
They flew away,
As silence filled the air,
Next to you.
On the path of memories,
I walk along,
And from the very first step,
I carry you with me.
"Just a friend is enough,"
If you ask for that,
To lean on your shoulder,
I came near,
I yearn to come near you,
I yearn to come near you.
Aaaa... Aaaa... Aaa...
The seconds were forgotten,
They flew away,
As silence filled the air,
Next to you.
The moment I close my eyes,
You came as a dream,
Forgetting all my worries,
I fell asleep.
In this continuing dream,
I wander looking for reality.
As the seconds tick away,
I need you by my side.
"Just a friend is enough,"
If you ask for that,
To lean on your shoulder,
I came near,
I yearn to come near you,
I yearn to come near you.
Raraaaa... Raraaa... Raraaaa... Raraaa...
Raraaaa... Raraaa... Raraaaa... Raraaa...
The seconds were forgotten,
They flew away,
As silence filled the air,
Next to you.
