“Because I Loved You”

written by the late Yoo JaeHa performed by Kevin Kern

 

Because I Loved You

 

Dreaming on the patio this yearned night
I sense you’re here to hypnotize my eyes,
because I loved you - your shadow takes flight~

It casts a tree’s tall spirit as your guise
heralding your arrival hot winds moan.
I sense you’re here to hypnotize my eyes~

We breathe in jasmine’s scent and your cologne
and I fear your exit explodes our spell,
heralding your arrival hot winds moan~

Only lover’s know how deep love can swell
into black night’s abyss to scream our dream
and I fear your exit explodes our spell~

Moonlight peaks desire as my tears stream,
spurning your Naval proposal I flee
into black night’s abyss to scream our dream~

My first love I’d ever miss you at sea
dreaming on the patio this yearned night.
spurning your Naval proposal I flee,
because I loved you - your shadow takes flight~
