君より少し早く目覚めた
午後の日向の匂い
飲みかけの水
あと数本の煙草と、君の寝顔
ごく普通の
よくあるような
珍しくもない風景
しあわせの風景

君と笑った昨日も
よく晴れた今日も、なんだか嬉しくて
ほら 君が目覚めるまでのしばらくを
どんな風に伝えようか
君に、「おはよう」

似た者同士の僕たちが
大切にしてきたコト
互いが互いを必要としてこれたコト
ただ、それだけ
君と僕をつないでるのは
赤い糸(ヤツ)とかじゃなくって
もっと単純でね

「永遠に…」とか、そんな大袈裟な言葉
とても縁がないと思ってたけれど
こんな風景を君と僕で見ていたい
君と笑った昨日も
よく晴れた今日も、なんだか嬉しくて
ほら 君が目覚めるまでのしばらくを
どんな風に伝えようか
君に、「おはよう」

僕がそう思うコト
知ってか知らずか
いつもどうりの君
それをまた僕は
愛しく思うよ
これが僕のしあわせで

君と笑った昨日も
よく晴れた今日も、なんだか嬉しくて
ほら 君が目覚めるまでのしばらくを
どんな風に伝えようか
君に、「おはよう」

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.
