Lyrics[]
I've been invited to a summer festival
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
[Chorus]
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
[Last Verse]
(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
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
