I Do
Jim Stärk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

maybe i've been here for too long
maybe i just can't see
how your world moves around me
and how it makes me feel
what about you are you madly in love
or just a friend
i'll dance on the moon till the morning
wakes me up again

'cos i do appreciate you
you do deserve a smile
i wanna give you all i got
but it might take a while
yes i do appreciate you
your light is shining through
i'll find my way in the darkest night
holding on to you

you call me from far away
i can't hear you if i try
cause i've been doing something wrong
and you just don't know why
what about you are you madly in love
or just hanging out
i'll dance on the moon till the morning
tells me what it's all about

'cos i do appreciate you
you do deserve a smile
i wanna give you all i got
but it might take a while
yes i do appreciate you
your light is shining through
i'll find my way in the darkest night
holding on to you

'cos i do appreciate you
you do deserve a smile
i wanna give you all i got
but it might take a while
yes i do appreciate you
your light is shining through




i'll find my way in the darkest night
holding on to you
