[Verse 1]
It's been so long, I've missed your face
Heart pounding fast, I can't wait
Across the miles, through every rain
Here in Istanbul, I feel alive again
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you're shining brighter than the stars
From afar, I've seen your lovely scars
But now we're here, no more distance in between
Just your smile is all I need to feel serene
[Chorus]
Meeting my daughter in Istanbul tonight
Hold you close, everything's alright
You're my world, my shining light
Forevermore, in your glow I delight
[Bridge]
Time flew away but love stayed strong
This moment with you feels so right
Together now, where we belong
In Istanbul, under the city lights
[Outro]
Oh, my girl, it’s been too long
But now I know, where my heart belongs
In your eyes, the love is clear
In Istanbul, I hold you near
