[English]

We cried, we laughed

We looked up at the sky

A few stars are still shining

We sing the song of time

Only then do we understand the meaning of holding each other

Why is it all happening

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes us beautiful

The wind blows, flowers fall, tears like rain

Because I don't want us to be apart

Because I just happened to meet you

Holding onto a decade of hope

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

...

We cried, we laughed

We looked up at the sky

A few stars are still shining

We sing the song of time

Only then do we understand the meaning of holding each other

Why is it all happening

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes us beautiful

The wind blows, flowers fall, tears like rain

Because I don't want us to be apart

Because I just happened to meet you

Holding onto a decade of hope

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes us beautiful

The wind blows, flowers fall, tears like rain

Because I don't want us to be apart

Because I just happened to meet you

Holding onto a decade of hope

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes us beautiful

The wind blows, flowers fall, tears like rain

Because I don't want us to be apart

Because I just happened to meet you

Holding onto a decade of hope

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

[Chinese]

我們哭了 我們笑著

我們抬頭望天空

星星還亮著幾顆

我們唱著 時間的歌

才懂得相互擁抱

到底是為了什麼

因為我剛好遇見你

留下足跡才美麗

風吹花落淚如雨

因為不想分離

因為剛好遇見你

留下十年的期許

如果再相遇

我想我會記得你

我們哭了 我們笑著

我們抬頭望天空

星星還亮著幾顆

我們唱著 時間的歌

才懂得相互擁抱

到底是為了什麼

因為我剛好遇見你

留下足跡才美麗

風吹花落淚如雨

因為不想分離

因為剛好遇見你

留下十年的期許

如果再相遇

我想我會記得你

因為剛好遇見你

留下足跡才美麗

風吹花落淚如雨

因為不想分離

因為剛好遇見你

留下十年的期許

如果再相遇

我想我會記得你

因為我剛好遇見你

留下足跡才美麗

風吹花落淚如雨

因為不想分離

因為剛好遇見你

留下十年的期許

如果再相遇

我想我會記得你
