Lyrics

One, two

Expressing a countdown or rhythm for the start.


Here's a little gift

The speaker presents a symbolic gift to someone.

From me to you

Offering the gift to the listener.

A place to store your dreams

The gift is described as a place for storing dreams and secrets, representing a safe space or receptacle for personal thoughts and aspirations.

And your secrets too

Reiterating the purpose of the gift and its significance.


When the world goes dark

In difficult times, the speaker promises to be nearby, providing support and comfort.

I'll always be close by

Assurance of the speaker's presence during challenging moments.

To hear your dreams unfold

Commitment to being present as the listener's dreams unfold.

Hold you when you cry

Offering emotional support by being there during moments of sadness.

And as you walk away

Acceptance of the listener moving on or growing independently.

Letting go of my hand

Symbolic gesture of letting go.

Smile as you turn for one last look

Encouragement for the listener to depart with a smile.

I know you understand

Acknowledgment of mutual understanding between the speaker and listener.


Listen to the song

Encouragement to engage with music that touches the soul.

Where it takes your soul

Invitation to immerse oneself in the song's emotions.

Watch the dancers spin around

Encouragement to observe the beauty and repetition of dancers spinning.

A thousand times more

Highlighting the mesmerizing and repetitive nature of the dancers' movements.


And drive across the sea

Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths for the listener.

Just to bring you there

Commitment to taking a journey specifically for the listener's sake.

An unconditional waltz

Describing the nature of the journey as an unconditional waltz, emphasizing love and devotion.

And a loving kiss

Expressing affection through a loving gesture, in this case, a kiss.


I know I've been away

Acknowledgment of being physically absent for an extended period.

And for a-way too long

Recognition of the prolonged absence from the listener.

I need you now more then ever

Expressing a deep need for the listener, especially during the present moment.

Before the music is over

Desire to reconnect before a significant moment or opportunity is lost.


And I want you to know

Directly addressing the listener to convey the song's dedication to them.

This song's for you

Reiteration of the dedication of the song to the listener.

And I want you to know

Declaration of love towards the listener.

That I love you

Reaffirmation of the love towards the listener.


And I want you to know

Reiteration of the song's dedication to the listener.

This song's for you

Expressing the importance of the song for the listener.

And I need you to know

Expressing a deep need for the listener to understand the depth of affection and care.

That I love you

Final affirmation of love towards the listener.
