Lyrics
| I bless the day I found you I want to stay around you And so I beg you Let it be me Don’t take this heaven from one If you must cling to someone Now and forever Let it be me *Each time we meet love I find complete love Without your sweet love what would life be So never leave me lonely Tell me you love me only And that you’ll always let it be me(*) |
我祈求在遇見你的那一天 我要留在你身邊 所以我懇求你 但願那就是我 別將天堂從我手上奪走 如果你必得愛上某人 從現在到永遠 但願那就是我 每次我們沐浴愛河中 我擁有完整的愛 沒有你甜蜜的愛，人生會是如何？ 所以永遠別讓我寂寞 告訴我你只愛我一個 而且你將永遠讓我做你的情人 |
