Lyrics

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
