ILLIT – Almond Chocolate / THE FIRST TAKE
On this performance we’ll be singing our first Japanese original song Is everyone ready? Yes Then let’s go Please listen to “Almond Chocolate” My fav is such a comfort
So precious—I’ll never grow tired of them Such a distant presence
I’m happy just to watch them But how can this be? Our eyes meet You’re within touching distance Dear God, this is more than I can handle The more get to know you, the more I need to know Take a bite And succumb to an array of unexpected flavors You’re like almond chocolate Sweet on the outside, bitter on the inside I’ve overindulged and now I’m addicted My feelings overflow Those beautiful eyes, the warmth of your hand Seductive words and a fickle smile With every piece of you I store In the folder of my heart My love for you grows My fav gives me energy
All my worries vanish Love is so painful
My worries keep growing I’m still unsure which way it will go But this racing heartbeat is undeniable Dear God, that you for placing us in the same moment in time I’m grateful for the miracle of meeting you In disguise, but I still noticed you—I must be a lucky girl You’re like almond chocolate Sweet on the outside, bitter on the inside I’ve overindulged and now I’m addicted My feelings overflow Do you feel the same? I’m not the only one that’s noticed your appeal Melting so sweet
Bursting with bitterness Everything about you is special You’re like almond chocolate (Oh Almond Chocolate) Sweet on the outside, bitter on the inside (the inside) I’ve overindulged and now I’m addicted (addicted) My feelings overflow Those beautiful eyes, the warmth of your hand (Ah) Seductive words and a fickle smile With every piece of you I store (folder) In the folder of my heart This world shines brighter That was good That was good
