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....
