Why is the Sun smiling at me today?
Maybe because you appeared in my dream last night so dearly
It feels like I am going to sing and dance the whole day
There on the green grass, under the white Jasmine tree
Why do I feel like there are butterflies inside my small tummy?
The trees and daffodils and roses are so beautiful to see
I’m dreaming that you’re holding me tightly in your arms while dancing with me
There on the green grass, under the white Jasmine tree
I am happy to keep you inside my mind all day
Because I can show my feelings for you freely
How I wish one day, when I wake up from reality
You will love me too, like I love you so deeply
Each time we are together I really want to confess
That I couldn’t help but to fall from your funny jokes and your comeliness
I wish you’ll see me close my eyes, I’m yearning for your precious kiss
My invisible feelings for you, I just don’t know how to express
Meanwhile, I have to write my feelings for you through my poetry
For I am much braver when you are not around me
And if I wanted to dance with you again someday
I’ll fancy that your dancing with me under the white Jasmine tree
