海辺へと続く坂道 あなたと
肩を並べて歩いて おしゃべりしてたよね
潮風が二人を優しく包み
このまま いっしょにいられると思ってた

忘れない 二人傷つけ合ってた
日々も 思い出の欠片

今でも…あなたが好きだから
素肌に感じるぬくもりが欲しい
短かすぎた甘くせつない恋は
もう二度と 戻らない

砂浜に書いた“さよなら"あなたへ
波にさらわれ 消えてなくなってしまったよ
時がたち全てを忘れさせても
今更 寂しさだけ置き忘れてくの?

どれだけの涙を流せばいいの
胸がしめつけられそう

今でも…あなたが好きだから
あの日と変わらぬ笑顔に会いたい
二人だけの想い出のフォトグラフ
もう増えることはない

今でも…あなたが好きだから
素肌に感じるぬくもりが欲しい
短かすぎた甘くせつない恋は
もう二度と 戻らない

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.
