here's to people who are sad
but managed to forget sadness
here's to people who are sad
but managed to forget to cry
here's to lovers from all over the world
here's to lovers who don't know what sadness is

hey look
close your ears
bad news
close your ears don't listen
hey look
time has stopped
for the two of us
we met somewhere
a town on the world map
a red mark
on the world map


here's to people who are sad
but managed to forget to cry
here's to lovers from all over the world
here's to lovers who don't know what sadness is

i want you to
blindfold me
silently with your hands
so that i can't see a thing
the rising wall
on the world map -- the blue sea
we hug and sink in the blue sea
a deformed continent on the world map

i can open my
heart to you
kiss me
a kiss that will let me forget
stay by my side
we passed each other in a town somewhere
somewhere on the world map
on the world map
a mark was erased

and though we are sad...
