When I met you in the summer

當我在炎炎夏日遇見妳

To my heartbeat sound

伴隨而來的 是我砰砰的心跳

We fell in love

我們就這樣陷入熱戀

As the leaves turned brown 

秋天來臨,樹葉也轉黃

And we could be together baby

我們能夠繼續相愛

As long as skies are blue

只要天空依舊如此湛藍

You act so innocent now

妳裝得如此天真

But you lied so soon

但謊言也跟著出現

 

When I met you in the summer

只要天空依舊如此湛藍

You act so innocent now

妳裝得如此天真

But you lied so soon
