Maoli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I still get chills when you come around
Ain't a star in the sky could ever shine the way you do
Honey, you got me flying on a high, I donβ²t wanna lose, lose
Honey, it's your eyes that takes me away
When our days turn into years, honey, please don't change
I know, I gave you a million dreams
Yes it's our book thatβ²s still being written
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la
I never felt anything wrong
Loving you is like a note of a perfect song, oh-oh-oh, oh
Even if I had the world to givΠ΅ you, still don't measure you
β²Cause you still got mΠ΅ on this high, I don't wanna lose, oh, uh-uh
Honey itβ²s your eyes that takes me away
When our days turn into years, honey, please don't change
I know, I gave you a million dreams
When it's our book thatβ²s still being written
β²Cause it's our book thatβ²s still being written
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la
Let me count every hour, every minute of the day
I'll still come short of a minute dancing in the rain, mmm
And you know I wanna last forever
Baby, let this last forever
So take me higher (higher) and higher, baby
Honey itβ²s your eyes that takes me away
When our days turn into years, honey, please don't change
I know, I gave you a million dreams
When itβ²s our book that's still being written
Yes it's our book thatβ²s still being written
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la

You've been the talk of this town
You have become the subject of everyone's conversations and gossip in this town
And I still get chills when you come around
I still feel a strong sense of excitement and anticipation when you are near
Ain't a star in the sky could ever shine the way you do
There is no star in the sky that can emit the same brilliance and radiance as you
Honey, you got me flying on a high, I don't wanna lose, lose
My emotions are elevated and euphoric because of you, and I am afraid of losing this feeling
Honey, it's your eyes that takes me away
It is the captivating and enchanting gaze in your eyes that transports me to another world
When our days turn into years, honey, please don't change
As time passes and our relationship grows, I hope you remain the same and don't undergo any negative transformations
I know, I gave you a million dreams
I have bestowed upon you countless aspirations and visions of a beautiful future
But it's our book that's still being written
Our love story and journey together are still unfolding and evolving
Yes, it's our book that's still being written
Indeed, the story of us is ongoing and yet to reach its conclusion
I never felt anything wrong
I have never sensed any negativity or dissatisfaction in our relationship
Loving you is like a note of a perfect song, oh-oh-oh, oh
Being in love with you is like experiencing a harmonious and flawless melody
Even if I had the world to give you, still don't measure you
Even if I possessed everything the world has to offer, it would still not quantify or compare to your worth
'Cause you still got me on this high, I don't wanna lose, oh, uh-uh
Because you still have me feeling elated and ecstatic, and I am afraid of losing this sensation
Let me count every hour, every minute of the day
Allow me to cherish and appreciate every passing moment, every second of each day
I'll still come short of a minute dancing in the rain, mmm
Even with all the time in the world, it would never be enough to fully experience the joy and bliss of dancing in the rain with you
And you know I wanna last forever
You understand that my desire is for our love and connection to endure eternally
Baby, let this last forever
Darling, let our love story continue indefinitely without an end in sight
So take me higher (higher) and higher, baby
Elevate me to greater heights, increasing our love and happiness, my dear
