目が覚めたなら
うんと抱きしめよう
目の前に広がる
この煌めきを

この小さな世界が
やがてかすかに灯す
少しの希望と教えてくれた

残された時間は
とても多くはないよ

僕らの日々はまだ
変わってゆくよ

優しい風が吹いた
君が笑えば
なによりの
強さになる

あたらしい日々は
いつも
想いが繋ぐ
素晴らしい明日を

見てみたいんだ

本当のこというと
どうしたらいいかって
わからなくなることだってあるんだ

そんなときは
とても
深い深い海の底
光を見失うことだって
あるんだ

それでも
やっかいなのは
君が僕を呼ぶ声がするよ

嬉しくて
涙あふれた

懐かしい匂いがした
君が浮かべば
いつだって
乗り越えられる

あたらしい日々へ
ずっと
走り続けた

まだまださ
明日を

夢みたいんだ
掴みたいんだ
刻みたいんだ

抱きしめたいな

こんなにも
美しものがあったと
泣けるくらいなら
もう少し
頑張ってみよう

優しい風が吹いた
君が笑えば
なによりの
強さになる

あたらしい日々は
いつも
想いが繋ぐ
素晴らしい明日を

見てみたいんだ
見てみたいな
見続けたいな

君とずっと

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.
