Light, come together
Light, don't leave me alone
Me and my thoughts are having a discussion
I wish I wasn't so wrong
Now open your arms to me
Baby if you do I will finally breathe and
Nothing about everything about my day
Let myself go and play
With the stars up above
And the clouds up above
Kiss the moon and your heart
Je prie pour la nuit
I pray for the night
With the stars up above
And the skies up above
Kiss the moon and your heart
Que cette nuit soit douce
May this night be sweet
Doux comme les réveils
Sweet like the awakenings
Depuis que tu es près de moi
Since you are close to me
Et que tes bras entourent mon sommeil
And your arms surround my sleep
Comme on protège un enfant
Like one protects a child
De ses plus mauvais rêves
From her worst nightmares
Je suis légère, je le sens
I am light, I can feel it
Oui prend moi dans tes bras
Yes, hold me in your arms
Que je m'élève
So I can rise up
Au plus près des étoiles (au plus près des étoiles)
Right up close to the stars (right up close to the stars)
Au-dessus des nuages (au-dessus des nuages)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Après la lune ton visage
After the moon, your face
Je prie pour la nuit
I pray for the night
Au plus près des étoiles (des étoiles)
Right up close to the stars (the stars)
Au-dessus des nuages
Above the clouds
Après la lune ton visage
After the moon, your face
Que cette nuit soit douce
May this night be sweet
Douce, auprès de toi douce
Sweet, close to you, sweet
Douce
Sweet
Douce
Sweet
Au plus près des étoiles
Closest to the stars
Au-dessus des nuages
Above the clouds
Après la lune ton visage (you're my moon in my heart)
After the moon, your face (you're my moon in my heart)
You're my star up above
My only cloud up above
You are my moon in my heart
Il y a la lune et ton visage
There is the moon and your face
Il y a la lune et ton visage
There is the moon and your face
