Nobody but You
Taiyo Na Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there is nobody but you
Nobody but you
And there is nobody
And there is nobody but you
Nobody but you
And those green wide gardens
Cross the seas and forests
Our feels in chorus
The beat of morning into one
Love
Nobody but you
When we made those vows with
And the tears were flowing
Like rivers oceans
The joys opened
We were woven into one
Love
Nobody but you
Even when your traumas burning
Even when my demons yearning
Even when your heart, your tender heart is hurting
Even when my soul is searching
Even when my life is murky
Even when the page, the chapter read ain′t turning
Nobody but you

And there is nobody
There is absolutely no one else
And there is nobody but you
Only you hold that special place in my heart
Nobody but you
Truly, there is no one else
Under tree lined arches
In beautiful surroundings, with trees across the path
And those green wide gardens
In serene, leafy gardens, open and wide
Cross the seas and forests
Across oceans and through forests
Our feels in chorus
Our emotions in beautiful harmony
The beat of morning into one
The rhythm of morning combined and become one
Love
Our love binds us together
When we made those vows with
When we exchanged those promises
And the tears were flowing
In a moment filled with emotions
Like rivers oceans
Like great, surging bodies of water
The joys opened
All the happiness we could imagine was unlocked
We were woven into one
Our souls were intertwined and inseparable
Even when your traumas burning
Even in painful and difficult times
Even when my demons yearning
Even when my inner struggles are present
Even when your heart, your tender heart is hurting
Even when your gentle heart is in pain
Even when my soul is searching
Even in times when my soul seeks something
Even when my life is murky
Even when life seems unclear
Even when the page, the chapter read ain′t turning
Even when the situation seems unchangeable
Nobody but you
You are the only one that brings me joy and love
