lyrics

Your smile could conquer

All of the anxieties

That this world has to offer

Me, maybe

Your love could conquer

All of the anxieties

That this world has to offer

Me, maybe

But you're an ocean away from me

I can't swim that far

You're an ocean away from me

That's what makes me lose heart

Then I see the green light

And suddenly you're not far away

I see the green light

And hope returns once again

just for one second

Aaaa - aaaa - aaaa

I see the green light

And I will wait for you, once again

As we lay I wiped away your tears

I could feel your heart beating

And you said that you couldn't bear to see me

With another man

But you're an ocean away from me

I can't swim that far

You're an ocean away from me

That's what makes me lose heart

Then I see the green light

And suddenly you're not far away

I see the green light

And hope returns once again

just for one second

Aaaa - aaaa - aaaa

I see the green light

And I will wait for you, once again

Then I see the green light

And suddenly you're not far away

I see the green light

And hope returns once again

just for one second

Aaaa - aaaa - aaaa

I see the green light

And I will wait for you, once again

Once again

Once again

Once again

Once again
