Last night, I touched your fingertips
And when I touched your lips
I fell in love last night

Last night, I felt your heart beat fast
Swiftly the moment passed
Why couldn't it last, last night

Tonight, here I am all alone
My lovely dream has flown
Why must I be alone, I miss you

Last night, why did we say goodbye
My heart keeps asking why
Why couldn't it last, last night
