What Is This?
杏子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in through my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw my heart away
That's why I ask the Lawd up in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still

前陣子去日本也帶了一件華夫格❤
做家事有束口真的很方便，這幾年冬天會穿也有束口 的MUJI有機棉混彈性裏毛上衣，舒服又暖
9:05 這件長褲幾年前買過是針織質料，版型很修飾到現在還在穿，在上班工作場合穿也夠挺，沒想到有新版的😮
不過看起來材質是不太一樣的，查了一下台灣特價還要790😭貴好多啊！不過版型是真的很推薦訥
Koan杏子媽媽
華夫格每年出兩次就是太人氣好穿了😂
我也覺得那條褲子790有點貴，等等降價～

法蘭絨長褲是前年無意間買到的，之後發現作為家居褲超級舒服，去年跟今年打折季又包了其他顏色，唯一缺點大概只有隨著時間久了會起小毛球，但完全不影響舒適度

這也是省錢又方便整理衣物的好方法，一物多用😊

Koan杏子媽媽

綠色毛衣開衫好漂亮！
要像杏子媽媽在家穿著不土氣，還得配搭那整潔100分的居家環境才行哈哈

Uniqlo的衣服挺好看的 但香港賣的那堆非西裝款式的外套版型真的一言難盡 😂
