So Long
Respect Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was seventeen
When you came, in to my life
On the time, that i sure i think
I wan't forget
Youre the only one
I wan't see when i wake up
I wish there i hold your hand but now
So were alone
So were alone
Time move fast
A day gone so fast
So were alone
So were alone
Maybe someday
You remember me again
When going so fast
In my heart,,, you're love
The best there i can do
I think just falling love with you
Must the only one
I wan't see when i wake up
I wish there i hold your hand but now
So were alone
So were alone
Time move fast
A day gone so fast
So were alone
So were alone




Maybe someday
You remember me again
