but hopes that she deserves it
can't believe there's so much love around her now
it wasn't always there
she wouldn't even dare to think it could be herglad and so lucky
sadly, the pain is still inside her
it leaves a little doubt in her gentle heart
she deserves it and can't get used to so much joy
but hopes that she deserves it
can't believe there's so much love around her now
not in her wildest dreams
could she ever see herself to be with himblessed and so happy
one day there'll be not trace of sadness
but only fearless faith in her gentle heart
love wasn't always there,
she wouldn't even dare to think it could be herglad and so lucky
one day there'll be no trace of sadness
but only fearless faith in her gentle heart
