Lyrics[]
Ima anata no koe ga kikoeru
"Koko ni oide" to
Samishisa ni makesouna watashi ni
Ima anata no sugata ga mieru
Aruite kuru
Me wo tojite matte iru watashi ni
Kinou made namida de kumotteta
Kokoro wa ima...
Oboete imasu ka me to me ga atta toki wo
Oboete imasu ka te to te ga fureatta toki
Sore wa hajimete no ai no tabidachi deshita
I LOVE YOU SO
Ima anata no shisen kanjiru
Hanaretetemo
Karada juu ga atatakaku naru no
Ima anata no ai shinjimasu
Douzo watashi wo
Tooku kara mimamotte kudasai
Kinou made namida de kumotteta
Sekai wa ima...
Oboete imasu ka me to me ga atta toki wo
Oboete imasu ka te to te ga fureatta toki
Sore wa hajimete no ai no tabidachi deshita
I LOVE YOU SO
Mou hitoribotchi ja nai
Anata ga iru kara...
Oboete imasu ka me to me ga atta toki wo
Oboete imasu ka te to te ga fureatta toki
Sore wa hajimete no ai no tabidachi deshita
I LOVE YOU SO
Mou hitoribotchi ja nai
Anata ga iru kara...
今 あなたの声が聴こえる
｢ここにおいで｣と
淋しさに 負けそうな わたしに
今 あなたの姿が見える
歩いてくる
目を閉じて 待っている わたしに
昨日まで 涙でくもってた
心は今･････
おぼえていますか 目と目が会った時を
おぼえていますか 手と手が触れ会った時
それは初めての 愛の旅立ちでした
I love you, so
今 あなたの視線感じる
離れてても
体中が 暖かくなるの
今 あなたの愛信じます
どうぞ私を
遠くから 見守って下さい
昨日まで 涙でくもってた
世界は今･････
おぼえていますか 目と目が会った時を
おぼえていますか 手と手触れ会った時
それは初めての 愛の旅立ちでした
I love you, so
もう ひとりぼっちじゃない
あなたがいるから
おぼえていますか 目と目が会った時を
おぼえていますか 手と手が触れ会った時
それは初めての 愛の旅立ちでした
I love you, so
もう ひとりぼっちじゃない
あなたがいるから･･････
おぼえていますか 目と目が会った時を
おぼえていますか 手と手が触れ会った時
それは初めての 愛の旅立ちでした
I love you, so
もう ひとりぼっちじゃない
あなたがいるから･･････
もう ひとりぼっちじゃない
あなたがいるから･･････
Right now, I hear your voice
Saying "Come here to me."
Just when it seemed loneliness had beaten me.
Right now, I see you
Walking over to me.
I close my eyes and wait for you to come.
Till yesterday, it seemed filled only with tears.
But now my heart is
Do you remember? The time when our eyes first met?
Do you remember? The time when our hands first touched?
That was the very first time I set out on the journey of love.
I love you so.
Right now, I can feel your gaze
Though you're not here with me.
And in my body a warmth begins to glow.
Right now, I believe in your love,
So won't you please
Watch over me from so far away?
Till yesterday it seemed filled only with tears.
Now the world is...
Do you remember? The time when our eyes first met?
Do you remember? The time when our hands first touched?
That was the very first time I set out on the journey of love.
I love you so.
I'm not alone anymore
Now that you're here with me.
Do you remember? The time when our eyes first met?
Do you remember? The time when our hands first touched?
That was the very first time I set out on the journey of love.
I love you so.
I'm not alone anymore
Now that you're here with me.
