Four.

Note: Lyrics written to the melody of Wang Lee Hom's "安全感".


Original lyrics
看着天 一边开车一边打哈欠
DJ报时说 清晨六点 想到见你就不累
Oh这些年 我还留着你的高跟鞋
也会嫉妒今天谁的吻 有落在你的唇边

Oh亲爱的 你家的路怎会越开越远
Oh天知道 怎么办 我们都失去了方向感
Oh亲爱的 你是否也在等着那一天
心的距离 能缩短 找回遗失的安全感

Oh忘不了 曾经爱得那么的狂野
不管经过多少的错觉 爱情留下的余味 依然这么浓烈
亲爱的 你是否也在等着那一天
心的距离 能缩短 帮助我找回遗失的安全感

Oh亲爱的 你家的路怎会越开越远
Oh天知道 怎么办我们都失去了方向感
Oh亲爱的 你是否也在等着那一天
心的距离 能缩短 让我给你安全感
心的距离 能缩短 让我给你 安全感

The original Mandarin lyrics were rather ... despondent in a sense, since it spoke of heartbreak and a lover moving on. Initially, I wanted to follow the original theme, but the more I listened to it, the more I thought, "Wow. This could be a really romantic love song." and so my version of it came to being.

It's common knowledge that I'm absolutely horrible at composing my own melodies, therefore I have to refer a certain song in order to be able to write. I know the lyrics are incredibly generic, but hey. It's a start. Perhaps it might evolve into something more, you never know. (:

Might or might not be edited. I actually hate the fact that I used the word "love" so much ... I need to find substitutes.

Looking back,
I remember the first time we met
Laughing like we weren't
just day-old friends
A time I just can't forget

Oh, gazing into your eyes
I see the love within
your heart, how it sings to me
it seems as though
you're the only one here

Oh, I love you
I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Oh, Lord knows how I can live
without the warmth of you next to me
Oh, I can see
us being together till the end of time
Oh, my heart belongs to you
Forever yours, baby please know that it's true.

The days we spent
Holding hands as we watched the sun set
Together laying under starry skies
Moments filled with bliss

So this is what love really is

I love you
I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Oh, my heart belongs to you
Forever yours, baby please know that it's true

Oh, I love you
I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Oh, Lord knows how I can live
without the warmth of you next to me
Oh, I can see
us being together till the end of time
Oh, my heart belongs to you
Baby, please know that it's true

Oh, my heart belongs to you
Please let me be the one who holds yours too
