Lyrics

All along the shore
Sit together in the calm of the summer breeze
I move a little closer
And I slip my arms in yours

The sun shines bright upon the ocean waters
There, until the glow of the evening
Sweep me up like the waves, and hold me tight in your arms

Tell me that you love me too, knowing that you care
Makes me feel alive
Knowing that you love me
I feel so alive (Just you and me)
Knowing that you love me (No one but me)
I feel so alive (Make my dreams come true)
Knowing that you love me
I feel so alive

Song Production Information

DanceDanceRevolution

BAMBEE has hits such as her debut song "BAM BAM BAM" and "BUMBLE BEE", which was included in 3rdMIX plus. This song is a famous J-POP number which was once popular back then, now covered by a Norwegian girl. It states the pure feelings of girls in love, and is supported by many women until now. BAMBEE's adorable vocals perfectly match the song's atmosphere. It's a pleasant pop tune with a Euro-styled arranged sound.
