Love entered inside me
without me even knowing when,
and days in my life just fly by like this.
Whenever I walk beside you,
every single street these days
turns so beautiful.
Love entered inside me
without me even knowing when,
and days in my life just fly by like this.
Whenever I walk beside you,
every single street these days
turns so beautiful.
Even meaningless, useless words,
you smile and enjoy whenever I speak them.
Love entered inside me
without me even knowing when,
and days in my life just fly by like this.
Whenever I walk beside you,
every single street these days
turns so beautiful.
In this life, within the reach of your breath,
if I am not beside you, I become restless.
Through all the days I live,
and for my entire lifetime,
I will survive on your scent.
Love entered inside me
without me even knowing when,
and days in my life just fly by like this.
Whenever I walk beside you,
every single street these days
turns so beautiful.
