I'll search for the Orange Moon that lit up our love on the Ocean

Orange Moon - Khalil Fong

There we sat among the thousand,
fools just like us, but not so in love like us.
There we spoke of our love feelings,
and dreams were born like that, and we hope for love like that.
Now your dreams have changed and were far apart.
I don't know when or where to start,
leading you from my mind.
I want to stand with you again.
I hope to find you here again
in the eternal sunshine.

*I'll search for the orange moon that lit up our love on the ocean
while I hold your hand.
Now watch all the waves from the stones
where we gazed to the golden sun.
If I see the horizon,
glow just the same as it did when we stood on the hill.
Ill make the arrangements, just wait on that corner for me.
If you drop me a line, Ill be sure to make these arrangements.

Lay your head upon my shoulder,
Ill sing a tune or three sweet melodies for thee.
Softly speak, to say 我愛你,
why do you leave,
my heart is at your feet.
Well, I like to share three words again,
Parts of these words with you again if you think its possible.
And maybe I can pull you close
and whisper in your ear again
that I want you in my life forever.

*I'll search for the orange moon that lit up our love on the ocean
while I hold your hands.
Now watch all the waves from the stones
where we gazed to the golden sun.
If I see the horizon,
glow just the same as it did when we stood on the hill.
Ill make the arrangements,
just wait on that corner for me.

You are like the summer rain that cools me, that sooths me.
You are the person that I pray for everyday.
Maybe well sit on those stairs once again,
maybe we wont turn down have to pretend,
you will be here in my imaginings, fade imaginings.

*I'll search for the orange moon that lit up our love on the ocean
while I hold your hands.
Now watch all the waves from the stones
where we gazed to the golden sun.
If I see the horizon,
glow just the same as it did when we stood on the hill.
I'll make the arrangements, just wait on that corner for me.
If you drop me a line, Ill be sure to make these arrangements.

This is a hidden track from Khalil Fong's Orange Moon album. It doesn't have a real title per say, but I guess Orange Moon's a perfect one, given that that's the album's title and that the term appears quite often throughout the song. Apparently, its the original English demo of a song that was later sung by Eason Chan (its Mandarin version's called 倒带人生). I've heard both versions, and I must say Khalil's original version is much nicer. Its just the vibe of the song. The tune's addictively simple and carefree, the kind that's hard to come by these days. The lyrics are also simple, but romantic. Its like poetry really. I wish I could write lyrics of such quality and caliber, but any attempts by me are usually quite laughable. Haha. I mean, if they were any good, I would have publish them on this blog already. But oh well, not everyone has what it takes to be an amazing lyricist, and I guess I'm not one of those born geniuses. :)

I've been busy lately. Not with work but with meeting ups and stuff. I like it really. This week's been busy, but immensely satisfying. I'm happy. Like really genuinely happy, and its because I've been doing nothing fantastic but to live a mind-numbing ordinary life - a life that consist of work, catching up with friends and spending time with family. I think we really do have to start paying attention to and to start learning how to appreciate the simple things in life - because like lyrics, the more simple it is, the more beautiful it becomes. Life doesn't have to be a drama-mama fairy tale, it can be just a simple uneventful story and it'll still be something that can be immensely wonderful.

So just treasure it. And remember to look for the Orange Moon that lit up our love in the horizon. :)
