優柔不断の君がようやく決めた事だから
きっと
いっぱい悩んだのだろう
いっぱい考えたのだろう
ねぇ、そうでしょ?

「好きな人が出来たんだ」
泣くのをこらえる君の顔さえ見れやしない
突然、ポカリと空いてしまったこの胸の中に
春の風が通り過ぎた

君の笑顔 君のしぐさ 君の言葉のすべて
僕のためだけにあると信じていたから
こんな風な終わり方じゃいたたまれやしないけど
それ以上に僕は君のことが好きだからこそ
笑って手を振るよ 君が悲しまないように

あれから何年か経って月日に心癒されて
ほら
意外とうまくやってる
意外と楽しくやってるけど

こんな
うららかな春の日には君の体温(ぬくもり)思い出して切なくなる
だけど、夢から覚めても君が隣に居るわけないし、
僕は僕のままで…

今になって思い出せば あの頃の僕達が
過ごした時間は決して無駄ではなかった
そして僕は君と同じこの青空を眺め
これからも歩いてゆけると思うよ 限りない
その 鮮やかなもの この胸に抱いて ずっと

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.
