As time goes by, you will know
You will understand the fragrance of this flower
As time goes by, you will know
You will understand the fragrance of this flower
A melody will bloom in the heart
A gentle rhythm will join with it
A melody will bloom in the heart
A gentle rhythm will join with it
As time goes by, you will know
You will understand the fragrance of this flower
You will understand the fragrance of this flower
Why do your playful eyes smile like that?
Why do your hands gently try to hide it?
Why do your playful eyes smile like that?
Why do your hands gently try to hide it?
As your golden dress sways on the stage,
Why don't you come and dance with me?
As your golden dress sways on the stage,
Why don't you come and dance with me?...
As time goes by, you will know
You will understand the fragrance of this flower
A melody will bloom in the heart
A gentle rhythm will join with it
As time goes by, you will know
You will understand the fragrance of this flower
If I look, I would keep gazing at your beauty
If I listen, I would keep hearing your name
If I look, I would keep gazing at your beauty
If I listen, I would keep hearing your name
Even as my love clears a path for you,
Why do you hold back from the journey?
Even as my love clears a path for you,
Why do you hold back from the journey?
The right time and moment will arrive
The doors of our love will open
Our eyes will flutter with excitement then
When will your cheeks blush red?...
As time goes by, you will know
You will understand the fragrance of this flower
You will understand the fragrance of this flower
