[SPEED「Be My Love」歌詞]

You might need somebody.....Be my love
I'm lovin' you. Everytime I'm Lovin' you
You might need somebody.....Be my love

遥かなる未来 見上げてた
幼い日の 澄んだ青空

自由な夢 描いてた日の
笑顔 取り戻したい
尊い命 生まれてきた 意味を教えて

Be My Love 明日へ橋を架けよう
Be My Love 強い愛で Lovin' You! Only You!
めぐり逢えた二人だから
人は愛すべき人が いれば生きていけるもの

遠く旅してわかったよ
誰も 一人じゃ 生きていけない

ひだまりのような 母の温もり
胸にこみあげてくる
今あなたから 飛び立っていく 遥か未来へ

Be My Love 目の前の人を
Be My Love 愛せてますか
Lovin' You! Only You! 移りゆく 季節の中で
ずっと変わらない 永遠(とわ)の愛を君に誓うよ

You might need somebody.....Be my love
I'm lovin' you. Everytime I'm Lovin' you
You might need somebody.....Be my love

Be My Love 明日へ橋を架けよう
Be My Love 強い愛で Lovin' You! Only You!
許し合えた二人だから
ずっと変わらない 永遠(とわ)の愛を信じ続ける

You might need somebody.....Be my love
I'm lovin' you. Everytime I'm Lovin' you
You might need somebody.....Be my love

You might need somebody.....Be my love
I'm lovin' you. Everytime I'm Lovin' you
You might need somebody.....Be my love

You might need somebody.....Be my love
I'm lovin' you. Everytime I'm Lovin' you
You might need somebody.....Be my love

You might need somebody.....Be my love

SPEED (JPN)

SPEED is a four piece Japanese girl group consisting of Hiroko Shimabukuro (島袋寛子), Eriko Imai (今井絵理子), Takako Uehara (上原多香子), and Hitoe Arakaki (新垣仁絵) with the single “Body & Soul” in 1996 with the main vocalists being Hiroko and Eriko; the youngest members at the time were only 13 years of age.

The group would go on to win the Japan Gold Disc Awards such as New Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. However, by 2000, the group decided to disband, much to the dismay of loyal fans, but did get together numerous times – twice to release music, and many other times for charity. During their disbandment, the members embarked on solo careers, most notably Hiroko.

On August 20, 2008, the group announced that they would be reuniting permanently, and made their major comeback on November 12, 2008, with the single “あしたの空”, which translates roughly as “Tomorrow’s Sky”.
