Goodbye

Singing about sleepless nights and missing you.

I can't sleep. 
This night is too long My dear, whom I miss Come to me
I can't sleep.
My heart feels so sad In this lonely night I look for you

I can't sleep

In your eyes. Moments of magic we can't resist. 

In your eyes

Winter's gentle plans.
In the quiet moments, Joy and love abound.

Winter's gentle plans

It is a song that emotionally expresses the story of lovers struggling with communication difficulties, yet still wanting to hold on to their love without giving up. 

Love Needs Translation

Endless love and gratitude to you, 
It is a song that brings to mind excitement and happiness.

To You
