I Remember
郭采洁(Amber Kuo) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are there things you wanna say
Thinking of you night and day
Hopping you'll come back and stay
I remember when you told me
I'll be all right
Don't worry
Is all this just a sad goodbye
Thinking of you night and day
No matter if you'll come and stay
I remember when you told me
I'll be all right
Just hold me
I don't wanna close my eyes tonight
Missing you make me cry
Your love will give me strengths to carry on
You'll always be my heart and mind
So I don't wanna close my eyes tonight
I know it's just a miss match in time... Why... Oh why...
Miss match in time
I try and try to understand
Is all this just a sad goodbye
Thinking of you night and day
No matter if you'll come and stay
I remember when you told me
I'll be all right
Just hold me
So I don't wanna close my eyes tonight
Missing you make me cry
Your love will give me strengths to carry on
You'll always be my heart and mind
So I don't wanna close my eyes tonight
I know it's just a miss match in time... Why... Oh why...
Don't wanna close my eyes tonight.
