English[]
Somehow I can't remember why
We stayed up till 4AM (till 4 am)
We talked about
Nothing important and then made love
No persons can be close as us
No persons can be close as us
And now as she calls my name
Inside her dream
Kisses me still half asleep
Don't I wish that we could stay like this
At 8AM
Time flies
And I can't remember the
First time that we met
Now I need her
Like I know she needs me too
It can't get much better than this
It can't get much better than this
I Love how she combs my hair
Inside her dream
Kisses me still half asleep
Don't I wish that we could stay like this
At 8AM
I stop the alarm to watch her sleep and think I'd do anything
If I could make this time rewind forever
Till 7:59
I Love how she combs my hair
Inside her dream
Kisses me still half asleep
Don't I wish that we could stay like this
yeah yeah yeah
I stop the alarm to watch her sleep and think I'd do anything
If I could make this time rewind forever
If I could make this time
If I could make this time
If I could make this time
If I could make this time rewind
I'd make it
