Back then when we met

You were the one to greet me

It was my greatest desire

to see you from then

Day after day, I was fallin' for you 

But I wished I knew it sooner, 

that I had to let go one day

I smiled whenever I saw you smile

and I hurt whenever I saw you cry

I loved you as I've never loved anyone before

But I have to let you go now (2)

It's a choice I'd never wish to make

So please do forgive me now

Oh, I have to let you go now (2)

I hope you'll understand that

even after all this, I'll still love you

It's been years and I still

remember the first day

It's such a good memory, 

that I hold onto it till now

So many good times we had

I cherish them till now

But I wished it all lasted longer,

for many more years

{Cuz I have to...I'll still love you}

Maybe one day we'll find a place

where you and I can be together

And we'll catch our dreams

within the waves of change

So smile for the time being and

believe that we'll both meet again

Until then, I'll be missing you

and waiting for you too

A thousand lifetimes 

as long as you are

at the end of it, my dear...

{Cuz I have to...I'll still love you}
