🎵 A Fleeting Love (English Version of “Tình Thoáng Qua”)

Verse 1

You came along, like a gentle breeze across the porch,

Amid the crowd, I could only stand and watch.

Those eyes — they held my soul so tight,

My heart afraid — too shy to step into your light.

Pre-Chorus

I knew, you once longed the same,

But fear turned our hearts into hollow flames.

Just a fragile soul in this vast life’s flow,

How could I hold the sun I loved so?

Chorus

That was me — the foolish one of yesterday,

Who let go of the dearest love of his life.

Thinking I was too young, too lost to make you stay,

Unknowingly, I caused your heart such strife.

As time gently fades away,

I realize — love needs no grand display.

You passed through my life like a tender, wistful song,

I keep you safe in memories where you belong.

Verse 2

I know you’ve found a shoulder to lean on,

I smile in sorrow — may peace be your dawn.

I choose silence, as if I never existed,

Among the crowd — still, your shadow is persisted.

Bridge

If only that day — I had held your hand tight,

Instead of these hesitations, this fear tonight.

If only that day — I had said the words true,

That I love you — and forever will do.

Chorus (Final)

That was me — a foolish soul once more,

Who let go of the dream he was longing for.

Now standing in the stream of passing faces,

Still missing the sunlight our love once embraced.

Time flows on, it waits for no man,

A fleeting love — yet so hard to withstand...
