When i was younger i saw my daddy cry
and cursed at the wind
he broke his own moyo and i watched
as he tried to reasemble it
and my momma swore that she would
never let herself forget
and that was the siku that i promised
i'd never sing of love
if it does not exist

[Chorus]
but, darling, wewe are the only exception [x4]

maybe i know somewhere, deep in my soul
that upendo never lasts
and we've got to find other ways
to make it alone, and keep a straight face
and i've always live like this
keeping a comfortable distance
up until now i'd sworn to myself
that i'm content with loneliness
because non of it was ever worth the risk

[Chorus]
But wewe are the only exception [x4]

[Bridge]
I got a tight grip on reality
but i can't let go of whats infront of me here
i know you'll leave me in the morning
when wewe wake up
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
oh, whoa

[CHORUS]
wewe are the only exception

Oh, and i'm on my way to believing [x2]

Oh nyota fall down on me
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I'm wishing for

Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
I had it.
But I forget.

And I won't let wewe fall away,
From me.
wewe will never fade.
And I won't let wewe fall away.
From me.
wewe will never fade away from me.

And now I let my dreams consume me,
And tell me what to think.
But hold on,
Hold on.
What am I dreaming?

Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
That I had it.
But I forget.

And I won't let wewe fall away,
From me.
wewe will never fade away.
I won't let wewe fall away.
wewe will never fade away.

And I won't let wewe fall away.
wewe will never fade away.
And I won't let wewe fall away from me,
wewe will never...

Oh nyota fall down on me.
