🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • You give yourself to him
  • In starlit nights I saw you
  • So cruelly you kissed me
  • Your lips, a magic world

Echo the hook

  • Under blue moon I saw you
  • So soon you'll take me
  • Up in your arms, too late to beg you
  • Or cancel it, though I know it must be
giveyourselffate
