|
Last night, I touched your fingertips
|
And when I touched your lips
|
I fell in love last night...
|
|
Last night, I felt your heart beat fast
|
Swiftly the moments passed
|
Why couldn't it last last night?
|
|
Tonight here I am all alone
|
My lovely dream has flown
|
Why must I be alone?
|
|
Last night, why did we say goodbye?
|
My heart keeps asking why,
|
Why couldn't it last last night...?
