just a waiting for your call with smile
at over rainy day side
so lonely my heart is stay midnight
but I can't forget memories
It's slave of sadness

I wanna arrive at once destination

looking for my many precious day
remember promises you say you love me
I wonder where you are? searchin' for happiness
