Yisheng's "if I were" lyrics

If I had not

Choose this way of life

I think maybe we can now

They have their own children

Listen to other people's stories again

Laughing about what we look like today

I'm still as usual

Write our poems for you

I also treasure it carefully

Sentences that only belong to you

It's like you've done it countless times

Laugh at people not hearing these songs

Even if I don't have a good voice

I've been there countless times

Imagine what our future looks like

Even for the names of our children

There will be happy disputes

When we grow up to our age

Find a beautiful wife like you

When we get old

Counting the returning birds going south

One for two

I'm still as usual

Write our poems for you

I also treasure it carefully

Sentences that only belong to you

It's like you've done it countless times

Laugh at people not hearing these songs

Even if I don't have a good voice

I've been there countless times

Imagine what our future looks like

Even for the names of our children

There will be happy disputes

When we grow up to our age

Find a beautiful wife like you

When we get old

Counting the returning birds going south

One for two

I've been there countless times

Imagine what our future looks like

I'll be on your forgotten birthday

Write a poem about the past

When you hear the solstice of 2016

I'll blush like a fool

When we get old

Singing that song together

right back at you

When we get old

Counting the returning birds going south

One for two
