桜の花咲く
季節になれば
消えぬ想い溢れる

君を守りたいと
思っていたよ
この手にできることなら
君を抱きしめて
離さないよと
言えるほど
愛した人

ただ逢いたくて
君に逢いたくて
何度も呼んでみるけど
もう逢えないこと
わかっているから
せめて
心にそっと

桜の花弁
舞い落ちるほどに
愛してた日々が今
僕を生かしてく
切ないほど
それ以上
誰も愛せずに

あれから
いくつの夜を越えては
朝を迎えたのだろう
目覚めても君を
思い出しては
光と影の間に

ただ逢いたくて
君に逢いたくて
素直に
そう言えてたなら
こんなに苦しむことは
なかったの?
何も言えないままに

さよならを言って
別々の道を
僕らずっと来たけれど
あたらしい場所を
見つけるため
あぁ
空を見上げ
何想う

桜の花弁
舞い落ちるほどに
愛してた日々が今
僕を生かしてく
切ないほど
もう誰も愛せないの?

なんど
恋をして
愛していっても
僕はきっと思い出す
桜の花弁を見る度に
痛いほど
君を愛したことを

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.
