[English]
What I look forward to isn't snow
But a winter with you.
What I look forward to isn't the moon
But meeting you.
I look forward to fireworks filling the sky
Where I can forever lean on your left shoulder.
What I look forward to isn't an apology.
What I look forward to isn't an apology.
The number became unknown, the line disconnected.
Some people are destined to lose touch after passing through.
Wishes written on the window pane, beautiful dreams fill the room.
Oh, the winter night's snow, it blows in and then disappears.
Goodbyes are like dawn, happening without a trace.
Silence feels more like goodbye than a lie.
Alone, I fall into winter, loneliness keeps me company.
Oh, all the snow in the sky can't compare to seeing you one more time.
What I look forward to isn't snow
But a winter with you.
What I look forward to isn't the moon
But meeting you.
I look forward to fireworks filling the sky
Where I can forever lean on your left shoulder.
What I look forward to isn't an apology.
What I look forward to isn't an apology.
What I look forward to isn't snow
But a winter with you.
What I look forward to isn't the wind
But fallen leaves returning to their roots.
I look forward to our hair turning white,
You and I embracing and walking very, very far.
Reckless love will never change.
Goodbyes are like dawn, happening without a trace.
Silence feels more like goodbye than a lie.
Alone, I fall into winter, loneliness keeps me company.
Oh, all the snow in the sky can't compare to seeing you one more time.
What I look forward to isn't snow
But a winter with you.
What I look forward to isn't the moon
But meeting you.
I look forward to fireworks filling the sky
Where I can forever lean on your left shoulder.
What I look forward to isn't an apology.
What I look forward to isn't an apology.
What I look forward to isn't snow
But a winter with you.
What I look forward to isn't the wind
But fallen leaves returning to their roots.
I look forward to our hair turning white,
You and I embracing and walking very, very far.
Reckless love will never change.
