on second thought
whatever you do, wherever you are
let’s make a wish upon a star
when all this is over and long gone by
when silence is here and none dare to fly
when dreams are rare and hard to find
when emptiness will spread inside my mind
let’s wish and wish all this will pass
just like the morning dew fresh on the grass
so now dear, look deeply into my eyes ~
whatever you do, whoever you are
let’s wish, let’s wish upon that star
together, we will hold each other tight
just as we did the very first night~
