Jasmine With Love Tears

I keep my eyes closed...
And feel myself fall in love with you again
Twilight falls over a hill in a foreign country
The city lights swaying in the distance...
...as my body's trembling. I need you to hold me tight
 
Thinking of that day, only your words of goodbye remain
I quietly closed the car door, trying not to show you my tears
"Please just go away", I wished while biting my lips hard
And you left. That's our last summer day
I received your airmail once, but...
...why were the letters at the end blurred? (*by tears)
 
I wish I could tell him about the sadness I feel
The sea breeze brush my cheeks, signaling autumn is coming
You didn't even write down your address
Still trying to act strong, you still haven't change
Like a jasmine with love tears
 
Looking for you in Chinatown is like going through a maze
I can see the harbor from my car window as I pass by
Please tell me what's the meaning of your kindness all this time
I'll be waiting for you, just like I always did
When you stared into the distance and talked about your dreams
That was the moment I fell in love with you
 
I keep my eyes closed...
And feeling myself fall in love with you again
Twilight falls over a hill in a foreign country
The city lights swaying in the distance...
...as my body's trembling. I need you to hold me tight
Like a jasmine with love tears
