Some sweet daze, some kind of spell,
Is born inside me, and you gave it to me.
You gave it to me, you gave it to me.
Whispering something, saying something,
Tugging at my heart, you came close to me.
You came, you came.
You arrived like a raincloud,
Opening your heart like a flower.
I felt womanhood inside my heart,
For the very first time.
There is a falter in my walk,
A new look in the way I dress.
I watched the clock tick away,
Moment by moment, drop by drop.
Some sweet daze, some kind of spell,
Is born inside me, and you gave it to me.
You gave it to me, you gave it to me.
Every morning when I wake up,
If only you are by my side,
I will say that is enough for my life.
Only as far as your eyes can see,
My feet will wander and return.
That boundary is enough for me.
Even when the breeze brushes against me,
Even when dreams come and overwhelm me,
A thought of anyone other than you
Has never crossed my mind, not until now.
My bed is soft as a bed of flowers,
Yet I lie alone in longing,
With sleep lost somewhere far away.
Some sweet daze, some kind of spell,
Is born inside me, and you gave it to me.
You gave it to me, you gave it to me.
Your traces are all over the room,
Your name is written all over the walls,
Yet putting them up still isn't enough.
Like the lines upon my fingertips,
You are the one running through me.
Even with all our kisses, it is never enough.
To live with you for a hundred years,
Desires rise and burn like a fire.
As a heavy rain pours down like a blessing,
We stood still, feeling the depths of our silence.
To live my life without you
Is no longer possible like before.
Shall I come along with you right now?
Some sweet daze, some kind of spell,
Is born inside me, and you gave it to me.
You gave it to me, you gave it to me.
Whispering something, saying something,
Tugging at my heart, you came close to me.
You came, you came.
Like a raincloud, he came,
Opening his heart like a flower.
I discovered the woman inside me,
For the very first time.
There is a falter in my walk,
A new look in the way I dress.
I watched the clock tick away,
Moment by moment, drop by drop.
