Lyrics
Nighttime
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're not alone if we dream together
Of the good times
We got through cos we won't surrender
Head on my shoulder, glass of red wine
If we left the night behind (?)
We have won this already
Li la la li, li la la li
I watched you reach for the sky
Li la la li, li la la li
Chrysalis to butterfly
Sometimes
You don't win gold, you don't win silver
At the right time
You'll find bronze makes you the winner
Tears running freely, and I dry from your cheek
If you left the night behind (?)
You have won this already
Li la la li, li la la li
I watched you reach for the sky
Li la la li, li la la li
Chrysalis to butterfly
To butterfly
Kiss your lips and watch you fly, my butterfly
Chrysalis to butterfly
It's bedtime
Emotions chase us, our dreams will follow
It's a good time, mmm
For me to give you the strength I borrowed
Sigh when I hold you, last drop of wine
If you left the night behind (?)
