Trust in me, love, hold my hand tight.
Forget the world, I'll make things right.
Together we'll face the darkness,
No matter how hard and heartless,
Your fight will always be my fight.
*
Don't shy away from the daylight.
Let me harbor you through the night.
I shall chase away your sadness.
Trust in me, love…
*
Darling, the past we shall rewrite.
Tomorrow the sun will shine bright.
No more tears, no more sleeplessness.
Shed the fears and the loneliness.
In my arms you shall be all right.
Trust in me, love...
