[English]

Tonight the stars shine with true love, dreams are marked with halos

The time machine's protagonist is dazed, capturing the moment is a competition

The heart in love cannot be hidden, even the coffee is filled with love

Life is full of surprises, every moment of emotion lingers in my mind

Only you

I wholeheartedly want to cherish you to the limit

There are many sweet moments in the bitterness, holding you tight morning and night

I’m so used to you breaking into my life without any barriers

Fate began as friendship, searching for love

Heaven and earth share tranquility

In the moments of being loved, between the points of intersection

Having you to care for is the most beautiful romance of my life

My only one

My only one

The cozy little shop by the street

You give me a sense of home and happiness

Warm memories turn the mundane into color

I count the calendar days with you for a lifetime

A fallen angel

You give me comfort, what I desire in my heart, what I truly need

You know it all

Only you

I wholeheartedly want to cherish you to the limit

There are many sweet moments in the bitterness, holding you tight morning and night

I’m so used to you breaking into my life without any barriers

Fate began as friendship, searching for love

Heaven and earth share tranquility

In the moments of being loved, between the points of intersection

Having you to care for is the most beautiful romance of my life

Fate began as love, no need for proof

Fairy tale endings are destined

In the moments of sudden rain, amidst the chaos, we breathe

Having you to lean on is the final romance of my life

My only one, there's no one else

My only one, there's no one else

You are my only one

It's just there's no one else ouh uoh

My only one

My Only

[Chinese]

今晚星光閃出真愛 夢有光圈記載

時光機主角發呆 捕捉當下是競賽

熱戀的心不可掩蓋 齋啡都斟滿愛

人生充滿意外 每刻感動在腦海

唯獨是你

一心想把你愛護到極限

苦中多粒糖 朝晚 抱緊著你

我很習慣 給你闖進生命裡 沒有圍欄

緣來是友情 尋找愛情

天 與 地 共享恬靜

被愛的瞬間 對跖點之間

有你 牽掛 是我一世 最美的浪漫

My only one

My only one

街邊的窩心小店

你給我家的 幸福意識

有溫暖的記憶 令單調都變色

我跟你一世 數月曆

失足的天使

給我安慰的 我心裡想要的 我真正需要的

你都知道

唯獨是你

一心想把你愛護到極限

苦中多粒糖 朝晚 抱緊著你

我很習慣 給你闖進生命裡 沒有圍欄

緣來是友情 尋找愛情

天 與 地 共享恬靜

被愛的瞬間 對跖點之間

有你 牽掛 是我一世 最美的浪漫

緣來是愛情 毋須證明

童話 結局 命中註定

驟雨的瞬間 亂世喘息間

有你 倚靠 是我一世 最終的浪漫

My only one, there's no one else

My only one, there's no one else

You are my only one

It's just there's no one else ouh uoh

My only one

My Only
