君の声が聞こえていた 月夜の道 心は風になる
ただ静かに 流れるように 思いを詰めた心は愛を知る

真面目なふりして 時に傷付いて 素直になれずに
「幸せになって」と君に言わせたのは
結局、僕で

涙がこぼれてしまうくらい 本当に君が好きだったの
一番大切な想いを 失うことで気付くなんて
ああ、恋は まぼろし

きっと僕らは 思ったより寂しくって 心は愛を呼ぶ

ぶつかりあって 見つけてきた日々は 硝子のように脆く
強く抱き締めて 信じてゆくこと わかっていたのに

喜びも悲しみも全部 僕らを生かすためのものなら
この先に何が起こっても 道はずっと続いてゆく

涙があふれてしまうくらい 本当に君が愛しかった
一番大切な時間を ひとり抱いて 今日を眠る
ああ、愛の あとさき

月の明かりに照らされて 僕は何度も生かされてゆく
痛みを知って温もりになる 深い空を見上げている

涙がこぼれてしまうくらい 本当に君が好きだったの
一番大切な想いを 失うことで気付くなんて
ああ、恋は まぼろし

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.
