Toboketa koe ga yake ni yasashiku
Nukumori hagureta mune ni hibiku
Kirai na hodo suki ni natta
Ano koro wo waratte
Tatoeba tsuraneta kotoba no kazu
Amasu hodo ni tsumuida omoide
Furikaereba ochiba no you ni
Akikaze ni kieta

Nanigenai kao shite
Hanikande waratte kureta kara
Massugu na omoi dake azayaka ni
Mune no naka ni nokosarete yuku yo

Tsunaida te wo tashikameru
Wazuka ni yubi ga furueru
Owariyuku kono koi ni
Ima tomadou no wa naze
Kimi no hitomi mitsumetemo
Koe wa mushiro todokanai
Ima wa hohoemi wo inoru dake

Omoi wa tou ni kieta hazu demo
Aimai ni kokoro wa uzuiteru
Wasurerareru hodo tsuyoku wa nai to wakatte

Asu wo ikiru imi wo
Oihajimeta yume ni takusu yo
Tozasareta manma no sekai ga
Ima ookiku ugokidashite iku yo

Tsunaida te wo hikiyoseru
Wazuka ni hoho ga furueru
Owariyuku kono koi ni
Hajimete se wo mukeru
Kimi ga erabu kore kara ga
Tashika na mono de aru you ni
Ima wa kagayaki wo inoru dake

Futari dake no kisetsu no
Rasuto peeji wo mekuttara
Betsubetsu no tabiji wo ima chiisaku
Soshite tsuyoku fumidashite yuku yo

Shizuka ni sono te wo hanasu
Wazuka ni koe ga furueru
Owariyuku kono koi ni
Mayou wake nado mou nai
Sayonara itoshiki hito yo
Koraete sora wo miageru
Kimi no hohoemi wo inoru dake
