忘れないでいよう

冷たいコンクリートの上で
街の呼吸に耳を澄まして

夜明けが駆け出して
薄色に包まれていた
目と目が合う度
優しい気持ちになる

せかされた日々にも こんな風な景色がある
夢ならどうか 醒めないでね まぼろし

愛してやまない君の眼指に見とれていた
さめないでよ
ときめいてよ
遙かな想い
君がここにいるだけで輝き出してゆく
僕に映った 青の世界
忘れないでいよう

キラリ光る星のように
囁きあった夢へのカケラを

いつの間にか僕は 期待しなくなったコトを
気付かせてくれた
君に会えてよかった

慣れてしまう脆さを知っていた僕達だから
ありふれてゆく日々を 抱いて 眠ろう

愛してやまない君が僕を呼ぶ声がするよ
やわらかくて
心地よくて
このまま ずっと…
君が好きだと言った金木犀の花薫る
風が包んだ 僕の世界
愛してやまない君の眼指に見とれていた
さめないでよ
ときめいてよ
遙かな想い
君がここにいるだけで輝き出してゆく

僕に映った 君の隣で見えた 青の世界

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.
