Akaneiro shita hidamari no naka mukuchi na kaze ga futari wo tsutsumu
Hohaba awasete aruku sakamichi itsumo atashi wa oikakeru dake

Tsumazuitari koronde naitemitari
Keshite umaku ikireru atashi janaikedo
Anata ga hora atashi no te wo hikukara
Kowagaru kokoro mo tsuyoku ne nareru yo

Dakara

Naite waratte tsunaida kono te wa kasaneta kotoba ni makenai yakusoku
Anata ni deaeta akane no sora ni hora ano hi to onaji koto wo negau yo

Toki wa itsudemo ko no ha chiru youni shirane ma ni te wo suri nuketeiku

Hitotsu hitotsu kisetsu wa sugiteikukedo
Ato ikutsu no omoi wo tsutaerareru darou
Arifureteita hibisae modose wa shinai
Kono mainichi wo isshun wo itoshiku omoi no

Dakara

Namida mo egao mo tsunaida kono te mo ikue no shasshin ni makenai omoi de
Anata ni deaeta akane no sora ni hora ano hi to onaji koto wo chikauyo

Yagate “wakare” ga otozuretemo futari subete wo uke tometeiku
“Deatta basho” mo “ima iru basho” mo to* ni kokoro to tsunagatteiru
Hora furikaereba ashiato ga tsuzuku yo

Dakara

Naite waratte tsunaida kono te wa saigo no toki made hanashi wa shinaide
Kono michi no saki wo mata futari de
Aruiteikou… aruiteikou…

Dakara

Naite waratte tsunaida kono te subete no kotoba ni makenai yakusoku
Anata to deaeta akane no sora ni hora ano hi to onaji koto wo negau yo
