Lyrics

So lonely my heart is stay midnight
but I can't forget memories....

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

Ever lasting love!
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
