La la la la la la la la
I take a chance
Ask you to dance
See if you feel

I ask if you're mine
See if you feel

I want you to know
I don't want to let you go
La la la la la la la la
I don't want to let you go
We take a walk
Just wanna talk
Maybe you feel
How I′m feeling
Lay on the grass
Let the time pass
I hope you feel
