24色のクレヨン買ってよ そしたらママをキレイに描くから
この前あのデパートで見たんだよ 金色もあってステキだったんだ
パパはまだ帰らない 今日もお仕事
ボクはまだ眠くない 明日は日曜日

今度のテストで百点取ったら 買ってあげるってママは言うんだ
勉強しないとパパみたいになるよって ママはまた今日も言うんだ
パパはまだ帰らない 今日もお仕事で
ボクはまだ眠れない 怖い夢見そうで

パパは今日も真夜中に お酒のにおい
ボクにキスをした時に ママのつけない香水のにおい

おまえはママとパパと暮らすんなら どっちがいいって僕に聞くんだ
右目の下に青いあざがあって はじめてママが泣くとこを見たんだ
もうすぐ終わるスケッチブックには 手をつなぐママとパパを描いたんだ

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.
