Lyrics
Have you been, summer and spring in Beijing
Have you heard about life in the northern capital
Oh it gets lonely, oh if only
You could be here too
Do you sing, about summer and spring in Beijing
Do you dream about life in the northern capital
Oh it gets quiet, yeah just can't hide it
If you could be here too
And I've tried and I've tried and I've tried and I've tried to get over you
And I've cried and I've cried and I've cried and I've cried many nights through
Does it ring like summer and spring in Beijing
Is the dream like life in the northern capital
Oh it's so special oh so wonderful
If you could be here too
And I've tried to get over you
And I've cried many nights through
Have you been, summer and spring in Beijing
