Someday or One Day 孫盛希

作曲：孫盛希 Shi Shi 作詞：克麗絲叮 Christine Welch

Sunset fades away 日漸漸落下

Streetlights start to blaze 街燈開始亮起來

A turntable corner café 有轉盤的轉角咖啡廳

As evening fades to gray 天色漸漸變灰

Red brick alleyways 紅磚小巷

Winding like a maze 迷宮般羊腸

These memories rewind, replay 回憶倒帶、播放

And I am faraway 然而我已在遠方

He said to me that one day 他曾跟我說過，有一天

He’d meet me by the Milky Way 約定在銀河相會

Impossible to stay away 我無法遠離他

Impossible to stay 也無法留下

But please tell me that someday 請告訴我，某一天

One day 有一天

Played this song for days 這一首歌重複播放很多天了

Wandering in a haze 迷惘著、徘徊著

Soundtrack turned up all the way 音樂開到最大聲

A smile to end the day 我努力笑著

He said to me that one day 他曾跟我說過，有一天

He’d meet me by the Milky Way 約定在銀河相會

Impossible to stay away 我無法遠離他

Impossible to stay 也無法留下

You’ll be back to me someday 你會回到我身邊，

One day 有一天

He said to me that one day 他曾跟我說過，有一天

He’d meet me by the Milky Way 約定在銀河相會

Impossible to stay away 我無法遠離他

Impossible to stay 也無法留下

But please tell me that someday 請告訴我，某一天

Please tell me that someday 請告訴我，某一天

You’ll be back to me someday 你會回到我身邊，

One day 有一天
