== Lyrics ==
<pre>I've been invited to a summer festival
The music surrounds me on this special night
I find myself getting lost in the moment
Graciously dancing and you're in my sight
You're stepping along can't get my eyes off of you
Then I see you're looking back at me
Could this be what I think it is?
Can feel my heart beat like a new butterfly

I know you've got to be the one
I could tell when our eyes met each other
I can't help my knees are feeling weak

※ As I feel myself falling fast
  You've got the cutest little smile
  We can tell there's attraction going on now
  Stars are all aligning
  One-by-one for our love
  You are my Prince Charming
  And you make me feel like I am a KIMONO♥PRINCESS

I'm not dreaming
I know you've got to be the one
I could tell when our eyes met each other
I can't help my knees are feeling weak

※ repeat</pre>
