君とふたり過ごした日々
青い空の下 何を想い、
ひとつふたつと目を瞑って
指折り数えた 愛しき日々…
いろんな君の仕種に恋をした
さざめきあう 風の中
愛を知った

僕が見つめる先に
君の姿があってほしい
一瞬一瞬の美しさを、
いくつ歳をとっても
また同じだけ 笑えるよう、
君と僕と
また、笑いあえるよう…

目には見えないものだから
時々不安でサビシクなり、
痛々しくて もどかしくて
でも、それがゆえの
愛しき日々…
いろんな君をずっと僕に見せて
きららかなる目の前に
愛を誓う

だから、
たとえば、
僕のためといって
君がついた嘘なら
僕にとってそれは 本当で
会えないこの間に少しずつ君が変わっても
想い続けられたら

なるようにしかならない
そんな風にしては
いつも手放してきたこと、
大切なものを
信じ続けることは
とても容易くはないけど
ほんのわずかでも

僕が見つめる先に
君の姿があってほしい
一瞬一瞬の美しさを、
いくつ歳をとっても
また同じだけ 笑えるよう、
君と僕とまた、
笑いあえるように…

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.
