[English]

Oh, when I get old

I'll be looking back, wishing it could last forever

Oh, yesterday seems so far away

Long dress, no shoes

Summer nights, golden and blue

It feels just like we're stuck inside a picture frame

These memories never fade away, oh

Whisper to me, we got the world right at our feet

And I just wanna sit right here and look at you

That's probably all I ever do

Oh, when I get old

I'll be looking back, wishing it could last forever

Oh, yesterday seems so far away

Where did it go?

All of the nights, all the time we spent together

Oh, yesterday seems so far away

Wake up and smile, 'cause you're beautiful

Those hazel eyes

When I get old, that's all I wanna think about

I probably shouldn't say this out loud

High hopes, big dreams and a little scared

Way too naïve, thinking you'd always be mine and never leave my side

At least these memories never say goodbye

Oh, when I get old, I'll be looking back

Wishing it could last forever

Oh, yesterday seems so far away

Where did it go?

All of the nights, all the time we spent together

Oh, yesterday seems so far away

Someday, I'm running out of time

I'll see your picture in my mind

I'll keep our love frozen in time

Oh, when I get old, I'll be looking back

Wishing it could last forever

Oh, yesterday seems so far away

Where did it go?

All of the nights, all the time we spent together

Oh, yesterday seems so far away

...

[Korean]

Oh, when I get old

I'll be looking back, wishing it could last forever

Oh, yesterday, seems so far away

Long dress, no shoes

Summer nights, golden and blue

It feels just like we're stuck inside a picture frame

These memories never fade away, oh

Whisper to me, we got the world right at our feet

And I just wanna sit right here and look at you

That's probably all I ever do

Oh, when I get old

I'll be looking back, wishing it could last forever

Oh, yesterday, seems so far away

Where did it go?

All of the nights, all the time we spent together

Oh, yesterday, seems so far a-

Wake up and smile, 'cause you're beautiful

Those hazel eyes

When I get old, that's all I wanna think about

I probably shouldn't say this out loud

High hopes, big dreams and a little scared

Way too naïve, thinking you always be mine and never leave my side

At least these memories never say goodbye

Oh, when I get old, I'll be looking back

Wishing it could last forever

Oh, yesterday seems so far away

Where did it go?

All of the nights, all the time we spent together

Oh, yesterday, seems so far away

Someday, I'm running out of time

I'll see your picture in my mind

I'll keep our love frozen in time

Oh, when I get old, I'll be looking back

Wishing it could last forever

Oh, yesterday, seems so far away

Where did it go?

All of the nights, all the time we spent together

Oh, yesterday seems so far away
