[English]

(He love me?)

be there when the summertime ends

and closing in like the tide, in winter time

don’t run just wait and you will see

that we are destined to be if only you’ll be mine

don’t you lose sight of what you, want

Care about the simple things in life

that bring you joy and wave away the darkness

don’t you lose sight of what you, want

care about the simple things in life

that bring you joy and wave away the darkness

leave your worries far behind, you

and leave your lonesome on the shelf

next to the classic novels

don’t you lose sight of what you, want

care about the simple things in life

that bring you joy and wave away the darkness

don’t you lose sight of what you, want

care about the simple things in life

that bring you joy and wave away the darkness

leave your worries far behind, you

and leave your lonesome on the shelf

Next to the classic novels

Leave your worries far behind you

And leave your lonesome on the shelf
