On rainy days, you're my umbrella.
On rainy days, you're my sunshine!
On rainy days, you make me smile;

Just as my confidence, becomes cold,
And my hair is soaked,
But still, your smile warms my Soul.

My soul on fire,
Burning with desire,

Memories of you and I,
Sharing a special umbrella,
On a rainy day.

Patiently waiting,
For a rainbow to appear…

I've always known,
You are only but a dream,

You visited me every night.
Before I even knew your name.

Beauty, with no name,
Holding, Sharon’s Rose,
With thorns,
Stabbing my heart with impossible memories,

Leaves me with nothing but pain,
A rose and my heart,
Makes me see a miracle,

So much beauty,
So many thorns,
So much pain,

I dream of touching you,
My Seoul every day.

Love and pain balance the scale with your beauty,

I turn out the lights,
My dreams of you brighten my days.

I know I will never touch you,
My heart beats with unimaginable pain,

I think of doing something crazy.

Flying on a silver winged Magpie,
I'm afraid my heart will burn to ashes,

To stop longing for you,
Today, I'm ready almost,
To take a chance,

Flying into to your arms,
Or standing at Heaven's gates!

What should I do?

I feel so young and happy sometimes,
When I see, the beauty reflected in you each day,
And when I see you, I see the sunshine,
I love you more than words can say...

You're so beautiful! These summer days are excellent! So warm,
Your bright yellow color, it's beautiful!
Even, when your petals and life fade into shadows...
I am absolutely in awe of you!

Your Soul is vibrant; your heart is young,
And my heart is warmed by your yellow sunshine,

I could go on, and watching you grow 'til life was done,

This Intense happiness your petals reflect, 

Like a golden lily in sunlight,
And for you, Mother Nature,
Thank you for this warm summer,



A summer filled with sunshine and flowers.

Cold,
Sitting at the table,
Drinking coffee bitters,
To warm my Soul.

Looking out the window,
Through blinds of tall pine trees,

Unable to see your wondering Soul,
Unable to see your blooming heart,
Unable to touch a dream, carried by a warm breeze Far from the East.

A flickering candle,

The scent of  cherry blossoms,
Piercing the darkness,

A golden flame rises,

Golden skies,
Whites, pinks, and blues,
Floating high above the pines,

Embracing me with warmth,
Warm memories of loving you,

Painting a waking dream at sunrise,
Remembering you.

The night comes,
Red sunset, orange clouds,
Bright lights are hanging from a black velvet curtain.

How can I enter your dreams,
A crescent moon,
Points to you.

Hoping to return to that June day,
That day that changed everything,
That day you took my heart and soul,

A sleepless night, impossible to forget,
Sorrowful days spent,
Looking for you.

Was our meeting the work of fate?
Was our meeting meant to be?
Or, was our meeting only but a lonely man's dream?

Across a great river,
My heart and my mind live,

In a dream my home country vaguely familiar,
Living in a cold, wet straw covered house,

An empty boat floating on the river,
Thinking of you,

Many times remembering our youth,
Many dreams of you and me floating in the river's mist,

Unable to forget you,
Unable to step into an empty boat without you,

Looking Far to the East,
Hoping my memory,
Will rise in your dreams someday too.

Your view is vanishing from my memories,
Like walking away in a misty rain,
On this day of tears,

How can I let this love go?
Let love, fly away,
Carried by storm clouds,

Your sunshine left,
Burning in my heart,
I can't forget your bright smile,

You were my blue sky,
Why do I continue to,
Look for you every day?

When I look up,
I see nothing but gray,
Black clouds hiding your bright smile,
Your beautiful dark eyes,

To remember you,
Sends me to a rainy place,
A place of misty tears and gray skies,

Praying for you to return to me someday.
