浜崎あゆみ「HANABI~episode II~」の歌詞

涙がこぼれ落ちないように
滲んだ空を見上げているよ

人はどうして想いの
ままに生きられないの

泣けない弱い心も
泣かない強さもいらない

願いをかける流れる
星を探してみるけど

夜明けがもう早すぎて
見付けられずにいるよ

君の事思い出す日
なんてないのは
君の事忘れた
時がないから

悲しい事に出会う度に
大丈夫だよと口グセになる

あの日何かが止まって
しまったこんな私じゃ

いくら祈ってみたって
星ひとつさえ見えない

会いたいよねぇ会いたいよ
記憶の中の
笑顔だけ優しすぎて
どうしようもない

会いたいよねぇ会いたいよ
記憶の中の
笑顔だけ優しすぎて
もうどうしようもない
