Lyrics

And in a lonely place, lost in the crowd, I know I look into your eyes Just the way you are, I see you down..and say "Why you feeling so blue, I'm talking to you about my universe" You can feel me too So so so so long Every day the time will not be wrong So so so so long Every night your heart will be so strong You need me everyday, I think about my life I look into your mind Hold me tight, don't get away, you are..my truth "Why you feeling so blue, I'm talking to you about my universe" You can love me too (x3) So so so so long Every day the time will not be wrong So so so so long Every night your heart will be so strong -------------- You can feel me too So so so so long So so so so long So so so so long Every day the time will not be wrong So so so so long Every night your heart will be so strong
