**That Night at Gaolong Bay**

That night at Gaolong Bay,
A beautiful moon rose over the sea,
A few stars twinkled in the sky.
It was also that night
That I understood what you meant.
You sat beside him,
Quietly, without speaking a word.
I should have woken up long ago,
No need to ask you out for dinner,
Then I wouldn't have had to listen to him
Say those words that hurt my heart.
But I
Understood it too late.
You left a thorn
Pierced deep in my heart.
This pain will take many, many years to heal —
Only I myself know the taste of it.
But I
Understood it too late.
From beginning to end,
I was just putting on a one-man show.
There was no audience,
And no one to play the fiddle for me.
That night at Gaolong Bay,
In the blink of an eye, four or five months passed.
You and he are going to hold a wedding feast and bring the families together —
Tomorrow night.
The girl in my heart is about to be married.
Only I remain here by myself,
On a lonely night, counting the stars in the sky.
I should have woken up long ago,
Forgotten you and moved on to find someone else.
Then I wouldn't still be here now,
My heart aching over such a thing.
But I
Understood it too late.
You left a thorn
Pierced deep in my heart.
This pain will take many, many years to heal —
Only I myself know the taste of it.
But I
Understood it too late.
From beginning to end,
I was just putting on a one-man show.
There was no audience,
And no one to play the fiddle for me.
But I
Understood it too late.
You left a thorn
Pierced deep in my heart.
This pain will take many, many years to heal —
Only I myself know the taste of it.
But I
Understood it too late.
From beginning to end,
I was just putting on a one-man show.
There was no audience,
And no one to play the fiddle for me.
