Game Size

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
oh baby is not here yer I wish your love again
like a little girl a quick of fate
over and over miss you where are we arrive?
please tell me

shining shining moonlight flash my future tell me reality
resounded with I love you
I can't keep back tears
I wanna arrive at once destination
twinkle twinkle starlight
looking for my many precious day
remember promises you say you love me
I wonder where you are? searchin' for happiness

Long Version

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

※shining shining moonlight flash my future tell me reality
resounded with I love you

I wonder where you are? searchin' for happiness


don't you know mistake under the stars
I did't know either
only the fate we knew 'it mistake
becouse I love you forever
but I don't say to you, stay with me
far away to the way of that moon
lonely little girl

I can't take it love bright all for you kiss and smile again
I love you feeling twinkle twinkle destiny all mistery
romance waiting shamble blow the moon
