I dream of being held by someone
I can’t put into words how much I want to cry
Cold rain falls again tonight
I can’t hold it in anymore, just sighing repeatedly
Summer keeps turning in my heart, even now
Saying “I love you” constantly, take me away with you into a dream
Unforgettable Heart & Soul, words can’t express
The waves wash away the name I wrote in the sand, where do they return to?
Passing Love & Roll, leaving love as it is
Like a sun at minus 100 degrees
Falling in love that dampens my body
This dizzying summer fruit
Is still blooming in my heart
Even when we’re far apart, at twilight
A burning memory presses against my chest
Saying “I love you” constantly, take me away with you into a dream
Unforgettable Heart & Soul, I can’t wait for the night
The waves wash away the name I wrote in the sand, where do they return to?
Passing Love & Roll, leaving love as it is
On nights like these, I don’t want to show my tears, I want you to tell me we’ll meet again
Unforgettable Heart & Soul, tears of fruit
