LYRICS
I can see, even if you're not in front of me
I feel you, even if you don’t say a thing
Because I believe in you, even if I’m anxious
I can touch, even if you're not in front of me
I reach, even if you go far away from me
My heart dances just at the memory of you
Just like it did before
I wanna be your nap and dream together, always
As if nothing is wrong
Even in the evening when the sun sets
Even in the darkened night sky
My heart is completely filled with you
Wooo woooooo
Wooo wooo
The memories of my childhood years dancing in the starlight
Even if they gradually fade away
I hope we can be together, clear in your dreams
Even though I call out to you in the night sky
The black silence has no answer
I’m afraid
Afraid that I'll forget this
The magical moments, the night sky we walked under
I'm afraid they’ll just disappear like a dream
In my dream
You slowly came to me
And told me
That you missed me
To me, who was crying
You said not to worry (to not worry)
You softly said
I wanna be your nap and dream together, always
As if nothing is wrong
The magical moments, the glowing night sky
It's engraved in my heart
