Beautiful One
Agua de Annique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your hair shines in the sun
I wish I never left
The wind entwines our hair
Our words get swept through the air
I wish I never left
Our last look before our goodbye
I wish I never left
Beautiful one
You shine like the sun
I wish I never left
Before I said
You are the one
You are the one
Your sun will come and go
But his beauty will keep its glow
I wish your rays would shine over me
Keep filling me with your beauty
I wish I never left
I wish I never left
Love
I
Beautiful one
You shine like the sun
I wish I never left
Before I said
You are the one
You are the one
