Every twilight, Every sunrise, We will glide upon a wave. And I promise to be What fate asks of me, From waking to the grave. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3-16 - "Blackjack's Breakup Bossa" [Calum Bowen feat. Xarnax42] Babe, it's true, I've never loved someone as I love you. You know I'd like to Find another one Somewhere in the sun, But you're the only one I know I love. You're the only one, I know I love you. Love you, I miss you all the time. Love you, I need to make you mine. But one thing I know Is that you're happy now. All alone, I shed a tear. Babe, it's true, I'll never love someone... I love you. Although I'd like to Find another one Out there in the sun. You're the only one I know I... love!
