青く冷たい風が吹く
あらゆる世の儚さを叩き付けるかのように胸を打つ
そんな寂しささえも解き放ってくれたものは
あなたの笑顔でした

ナンデ いつも 剥きになって
傷つけてしまうんだろう
吐き出すと同時に後悔したって
今にも泣き出しそうな歪んだその笑顔が消えるワケじゃないのにね

いつか 小さなこの手を
ぎゅっと握りしめていたあの強さ 残ってる 痛い程に

あのドアを開けた その瞬間から 温かい光溢れ
木洩れ日のように 優しく 包まれてた
I felt there is your love,so always in my life

何でも話せるくらいの
心地良さがここにあって
当然のように甘えて来たよね
ちょっと照れ臭くて あまり口に出来ずにいた

「いつも ありがとう」

ここに あなたが残した奇跡 誇れるように、と
汚れずに 真っすぐに生きてゆくよ

花のように憂い眩い微笑み
いつでもそばにあった
離れていたって何より強い絆 躰に流れている

あなたの笑顔が
あなたのその手が
あなたの強さがずっと守ってきたもの ほら 今 輝くから
I felt there is your love,so always in my life

花のように憂い眩い微笑み
いつでもそばにあった
離れていたって何より強い絆 躰に流れている

あなたの笑顔が
あなたのその手が
あなたの強さがずっと守ってきたもの ほら 今 輝くから
I felt there is your love,so always in my life

Every Little Thing

Every Little Thing (エヴリ・リトル・シング), often abbreviated as ELT or elt, is a Japanese pop and soft rock duo who originally debuted as a trio in August of 1996 with the single Feel My Heart. At the time of debut, the members were Mitsuru Igarashi, Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito.

The group was originally formed because Mitsuru Igarashi, who was a producer for avex trax at the time, was searching for a female vocalist for a duo. Kaori Mochida, who was a student and former member of the group The Kuro Buta All-Stars, had sent in a demo to Mitsuru and he had been so speechless by Kaori’s vocals, had asked her to join the group he was forming and she willingly accepted. Ichiro Ito on the other hand, was a friend of Mitusuru’s who conveniently, plays the guitar, was asked to help play the guitar for the first single; the track did so well that Ito decided to stay in the group permanently. However, by the time the trio released their third single, Mitsuru had decided to leave in order to produce songs for other artists under avex, and, as such, ELT became a duo, as originally planned.

Since Mitsuru’s departure from the group, ELT continued to release content as a duo and continued to succeed on the charts.
