문득 너울진 별이 충돌한 그 밤
불꽃놀이처럼 반짝 내리던
금색 섬광 속 널 발견해낸 걸
세상 가장 찬란한 보석이 담긴 your eyes
아무도 모르게 내린 아주 오랜 밤 기다린
너무 눈이 부신 내 하늘에 수놓은 빛
날 위해 빛나는 you you you you glitter glitter glitter
어지럽혀진 별이 정렬된 그 때
두 눈이 마주친 우린 자꾸 두근대
변치 않을 금빛 심장 가진 널
품에 안아 시간마저 멈춘 걸
영원토록 간직할 별빛을 삼킨 your eyes
아무도 모르게 내린 아주 오랜 밤 기다린
내가 찾던 별은 you 난 꿈꾸는 듯해
너무 눈이 부신 (부신) 내 하늘에 수놓은 빛
날 위해 빛나는 you you you you glitter glitter glitter
Crazy crazy for your love 빠져드는 눈빛
Crazy crazy for your love glitter glitter
Crazy crazy for your love 쏟아지는 별빛
Crazy crazy for your love glitter glitter glitter
아무도 모르게 꺼진 맘에 사랑을 속삭인
단 하나의 별은 you 난 너만을 원해
밤을 새워 그린 내 심장에 새겨진 빛
영원히 빛나는 you you you you
아무도 모르게 내린 아주 오랜 밤 기다린
내가 찾던 별은 you 난 꿈꾸는 듯해
너무 눈이 부신 내 하늘에 수놓은 빛
날 위해 빛나는 you you you you glitter glitter glitter

The light engraved in my heart that stayed up all night painting
영원히 빛나는 you you you you
You shine eternally, you you you you
