Lyrics

Oh Oh....

(The) night has gone away, morning comes
Doesn't seem that long I feel it
Hardly had no word to say
Morning dawns there come a parting day

You are my old intimate friend
Cause you "Don't lay down your life"
Without a single word I stood there
(I) made up my mind to go through with dream

One day you said that you went on a journey
You said you made a success
And you made your way in the world oh yeah
You work as hard as ever don't you
Life is very short and also shine

Don't turn round your face
Don't worry you can work it out
I know you want to come home
Don't give up now
I pray you take a chance tonight
Believe and going your way

There's a great proverb someone said
Time is never die never stop
Well, we have the right to go there
It is all up to you yes, up to you

Oh Oh.... Oh Oh....

Every tomorrow brings its bread
Yes, so much here is hard to lose
You made up to get your dream
Oh never hesitate
I wish you might succeed! For you
You are the only my friend

Distant journey
Sometime you're feeling so sad
Dreaming journey
Maybe you lose your heart

Dear my friend
Stick to it! hold fast to the end
Forever we are good good friend, I miss you
I promise you to aid your dream
I don't know what to say
But I..... here I am
You are the best friend in my life
Forever you stay in my heart in my soul
I feel like this is departure

Oh Oh....
