Always Be Mine
F.T Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're lying close to me
The shadows gone
I have found my peace
You make me calm
With you I'm safe from harm
And right by your side
That's the way it will be
And I wonder what you're dreaming of
You're so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me
And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I'll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
'Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don't let go say you'll always be here
So just hold me tight and I'll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine
Just like the sun
You make me warm inside
Like a soft summer breeze
A moment to seize
So true I won't stop loving you
And I wonder what you're dreaming of
You're so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me
And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I'll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
'Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don't let go say you'll always be here
So just hold me tight and I'll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine
And I wonder what you're dreaming of
You're so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me
And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I'll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
'Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don't let go say you'll always be here
So just hold me tight and I'll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine
Just hold me tight and I'll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine
