******************************************************
I have given my heart to you at first sight
I love you, considering you worthy of love.
I have given my heart to you at first sight.
What more can I do for you
I have included you in my life.
I have given my heart to you at first sight.
Even if my life is lost in the path of love, so be it.
I will do anything to win you over one day.
I have given my heart to you at first sight.
Before leaving me alone, think twice
It might be difficult for you to take even two steps away.
I have given my heart to you at first sight.
I love you, considering you worthy of love.
I have given my heart to you at first sight.
