Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I saw you walking away somewhere,
My life, oh my life,
I am coming along with you.
Oh, oh, oh, only for you,
I feel like living.
My crescent moon, to you,
I hesitated to say this.
As time slips away,
Right before my eyes, the meanings
Are becoming clear.
Without even realizing it,
I walked away,
I pushed you away and left.
Now in your path,
I am losing myself.
Anyone else...
Girl, I said I want no one else.
As soon as I wake up in the morning,
My eyes search for you.
Close by, right beside me,
I need you to be.
You understand what I need,
And give it even before I ask.
As long as I live, give me
Your love.
When I lean on your shoulder,
My burdens lighten on their own.
Wrapping around me as your own,
Oh, my sky.
To give a name to this bond,
There are no words at all.
I will prove it by living
Completely as yours.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I saw you walking away somewhere,
My life, oh my life,
I am coming along with you.
Oh, oh, oh, only for you,
I feel like living.
My crescent moon, to you,
I hesitated to say this.
