📖 M/V & Lyrics
| 예전보다 지금 니가 더욱 괜찮을꺼야 허전했던 나의 빈 곳을 이젠 채워 줬으니 아름다운 세상에서 많이 외로워 하며 내 반쪽을 찾아 헤맨건 모두 옛날 얘긴걸 내 생애 이 시간만을 얼마나 기다렸는지 마치 꿈만 같은걸 이젠 나 혼자가 아닌 너와 함께 하는거야 Oh LOVE 왜 이제서야 많이 외롭던 나를 찾아온거야 Oh LOVE 너를 사랑해 이제 모든 시간들을 나와 함께해 (All right all right) When I aw you one time I lost my heart to you Oops baby I’ll be loving you forever with you now Baby don’t go too far I won’t let you go Please don’t go I want to hold you tight and I need your love 얼마나 수많은 날을 기다려 왔는줄 아니 이젠 모두 앞에서 너의 손을 꼭 붙잡고 우린 함께 하는거야 Oh LOVE 왜 이제서야 많이 외롭던 나를 찾아온거야 Oh LOVE 너를 사랑해 이제 모든 시간들을 나와 함께해 과거 따윈 모두 잊고 나와 함께 할 많은 시간을 추억으로 만들어 Oh LOVE 왜 이제서야 많이 외롭던 나를 찾아온거야 Oh LOVE 너를 사랑해 이제 모든 시간들을 나와 함께해 | Now, you’re even better than before, because you’ve filled the emptiness that used to be inside me. In this beautiful world, I wandered in loneliness, searching for my other half. But that’s all just a story of the past. All my life, I’ve been waiting for this very moment. It feels just like a dream. I’m no longer alone— now I’m with you. Oh love, why only now did you come to me, who was so lonely? Oh love, I love you. From now on, spend every moment with me. (All right all right) When I aw you one time I lost my heart to you Oops baby I’ll be loving you forever with you now Baby don’t go too far I won’t let you go Please don’t go I want to hold you tight and I need your love Do you know how many countless days I’ve been waiting for you? Now, in front of everyone, I’ll hold your hand tightly, and we’ll be together. Oh love, why only now did you come to me, who was so lonely? Oh love, I love you. From now on, spend every moment with me. Forget the past, and let’s turn the many days ahead into precious memories together. Oh love, why only now did you come to me, who was so lonely? Oh love, I love you. From now on, spend every moment with me. |
