Teringat masa indah kita berdua
Menikmati tulusnya cinta
Hatiku pun terasa bahagia
Kubelai wajahmu penuh manja
Ku impikan
Dirimu dan diriku mengikat janji
Kau tinggalkan diriku sendiri
Kau pergi jauh dan tak kembali
Oh berakhir sudah
Semua tinggal menjadi kenangan
Ku ingat salam yang kau berikan
Selamat tinggal sayang
Senantiasa
Ku kenang masa indah kita berdua
Walau kini kita berpisah
Cintaku padamu takkan padam
Ku nantikan dirimu kembali
Oh berakhir sudah
Semua tinggal menjadi kenangan
Ku ingat salam yang kau berikan
Selamat tinggal sayang
Ku sendiri
Teringat masa indah kita berdua
Menikmati tulusnya cinta
Hatiku pun terasa bahagia
Ku nantikan dirimu kembali
Oh berakhir sudah
Semua tinggal menjadi kenangan
Ku ingat salam yang kau berikan
Selamat tinggal sayang
Oh berakhir sudah
Semua tinggal menjadi kenangan
Ku ingat salam yang kau berikan
Selamat tinggal sayang
Berakhir sudah
Semua tinggal menjadi kenangan
Ku ingat salam yang kau berikan
Selamat tinggal sayang
Berakhir sudah
Semua tinggal menjadi kenangan
Ku ingat salam yang kau berikan
Selamat tinggal sayang

gaya pacaran jaman dulu
jalan2 ke alam. ada yg sepedaan, dgn keranjang berisi bunga2 liar,
duduk2 ngobrol,
pulangnya pegangan tangan❤
akh! syahdu.
(kalo do film korea, mereka pergi pasar2 tradisional. makan food street yg ditusuk2 sate itu
akh ! mesra nian)
