Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Like you and I
  • I want to change it each time
  • Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love)
  • Like you and I

Echo the hook

  • In any life
  • If I could hold you for a minute
  • Dar-, darling, I would do it again (ah-ah, ah-ah)
