Dan selimuti hatimu..yang beku..
Aku kan menjadi bintang-bintangmu..Kan slalu menyinarimu..
Dan menghapus rasa rindumu..yang pilu..
Reff: Aku bisa untuk menjadi.. apa yang kau minta..
Untuk menjadi apa yang kau impikan
Tapi ku tak bisa menjadi dirinya.
Aku kan menjadi embun pagimu..yang kan menyejukkan jiwamu..
Dan kan membasuh hatimu..yang layu

Tinggalkan sejenak lalumu..beri s'dikit waktu..
Kepadaku..tuk meyakinkanmu...
