Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you cast a spell on me?
I completely forgot myself.
Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you cast a spell on me?
I completely forgot myself.
Weaving a rainbow into my eyes,
bringing the sound of a smile to my ears,
for the first time in my life, I truly breathed.
Like a cloud drifting across the sky,
my heart that melted in search of you,
flew today even without wings.
Did I drift like the wind?
Did I fly without wings?
My love, to be with you,
is it the portrait I once painted,
that stands before me now?
My love, please accept me.
Are you truly the one,
the very meaning of my life?
Between my eyelids,
you stood, you lingered,
did you carry my sleep away?
Even if blindfolded and left in a forest,
will you find your way to me?
Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you cast a spell on me?
I completely forgot myself.
Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you cast a spell on me?
I completely forgot myself.
When my fingers touch you,
when you look at me,
and we speak with our eyes,
this life that we live
will turn into an endless journey.
My love, why do you still hesitate?
Even if life departs from me,
will I live on within you?
Searching, searching, now it is all a search for you,
a search until the end of my days.
Day and night will keep changing now,
and your world will transform because of me.
Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you cast a spell on me?
I completely forgot myself.
Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you cast a spell on me?
I gave you my heart.
