Ha... aa... aah... ha... aah
Aa... haa... aah... aah...
Ha... aa... aah... ha... aah
Aa... haa... aah... aah...
A love that no one else has seen,
kept safely hidden and sheltered.
I have never felt with anyone
this much love.
A restless desire arrives
and peeks in.
An unspoken word
strikes me deep inside.
What will my heart
ever ask of you?
It only wishes
to live with you forever.
A love that no one else has seen,
kept safely hidden and sheltered.
I have never felt with anyone
this much love.
...
Aah... aa...
Lost in your thoughts,
I have crumbled away.
If I ever leave you,
I will die right here.
If you come to me in anger,
I sink into sorrow.
When you shower me with sweet affection,
my pace quickens with joy.
All my principles are gone,
my heart has become your bonded slave.
Like a prisoner with hands tied,
I have followed right behind you.
A love that no one else has seen,
kept safely hidden and sheltered.
I have never felt with anyone
this much love.
...
Aah... aa...
All these days, no one
has ever touched me.
And no one has struck
my thoughts like this.
I stood as only half a person,
and you became my other half.
I lived as a sinner,
and you became my very soul.
All my tough pride has vanished,
and a sweet shyness has taken over.
Forever obeying your command,
I will surrender and love you.
A love that no one else has seen,
kept safely hidden and sheltered.
Female: I have never felt with anyone
this much love.
A restless desire arrives
and peeks in.
Female: Ah, an unspoken word
strikes me deep inside.
What will my heart
ever ask of you?
Female: It only wishes
to live with you forever.
{No one else...
Chorus: No one else, no one else,
No one else, no one else}
