Les paroles de la chanson

What I feel, I cant say
But my Love Is there for you anytime of day
But if its not love that you need
Then Ill try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What I know, I can do
If I give My Love now to everyone like you
But if its not love that you need
Then Ill try my best to make evrything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What I feel, I cant say
But my Love Is there for you any time of day
But if its not love that you need
Then Ill try my best to make everything succeed
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
(fade 🙂
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me who am I without you by my side
