A Starry Night
Callalily Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A starry night came
I looked up and I thought you're there
I closed my eyes and realized that you're gone
Now I know that it's not easy
But can you stay by my side
Hope that you believe me
Cause I swear that
I am yours
You are mine
I promise that I'll be here forever
Beside you, loving you
Cause no one can love me most
None but you

Thought we'll be forever
Now my dreams can't come true
God knows how much I do
I really do need you

I am yours
You are mine
I promise that I'll be here forever
Beside you, loving you
Cause no one can love me most
None but you

No one can…
Love me most
None but you
No one can love me most
Just you

I am yours
You are mine
I promise that I'll be here forever
Beside you, loving you
Cause no one can love me most
None but you





No one can love me most
None but you
