Lyrics
Tell me why the reason I am here Just only you I see from far away I’ve come for you Don’t know why I searched all night and day But when I’m here, darkness came No lights to show the way Dark despair, still, I seek for you All I long to see was your smile I know I won’t look behind I see no regrets No guiding light so dark Are you my light? But now, I am here And you’re close to me My heart is with you Forever and ever See this place The end of world she fears No shining lights anywhere This emptiness in tears Didn’t know it was you all along You were chasing after my shadow I know I won’t look behind I see no regrets No guiding light so dark Are you my light? But now, I am here And you’re close to me My heart is with you Forever and ever No, I won’t let you go I will hold it in my arms Oh, this light was you I know it now, beyond the sky There’s new place you’ll see I came to you to share our dream together I won’t let us part There’s no place to be My heart is with you Forever and ever
