Tatoeba ne namida ga koboreru hi ni wa
Sono senaka wo hitorijime shitai kedo

Yasashisa ha tokidoki zankoku dakara
Motomeru hodo kotae wo miushinau

Ameagari no machi niji ga mieru nara
Ima arukidasou nani ka ga hajimaru

Kimi ga iru kara asu ga aru kara
Hitorikiri ja ikite yukenai kara
Konna ni chikaku ni kanjiru sore ga, ai deshou
Namida no kazu no itami wo kimi ha shitteru kara
Sukitooru sono me no naka ni tashika na imi wo sagashite
Egao mitsuketai

Nani mo iwanai de mo konna kimochi ga
Kimi no mune ni tsutawareba ii no ni

Sukoshizutsu machi ha iro wo kaeru kedo
Hora omoide ga mata hitotsu fueta

Kimi no kotoba no hitotsu hitotsu wo
Ima ha dakishimerareru kara kitto
Futari de kasaneatte iku sore ga, ai deshou
Dare mo shiranai ashita ga matte iru to shite mo
Daijoubu mou nakanai de
Kimi to te to te wo tsunaide
Aruiteku zutto

Futo shita shunkan tsunoru kimochi ja naku
Sukoshizutsu sodatete iku mono da ne
Aisuru kimochi ha

Kimi ga iru kara asu ga aru kara
Hitorikiri ja ikite yukenai kara
Konna ni chikaku ni kanjiru sore ga, ai deshou
Namida no kazu no itami wo kimi wa shitteru kara
Sukitooru sono me no naka ni
Tashika na imi wo sagashite egao mitsuketai


ENGLISH

Aren't there certain days  when tears just start to fall
That I only wish I could  have your backside for myself

Sometimes even gentleness  can be so vicious after all
The more that I try  the further away is the answer

When the rain stops falling  and you can see a rainbow
Let's start walking through the city  and something's gonna happen now

Cuz you're here for me  Cuz there's a tomorrow
Cuz there's no way I could ever live alone
I feel so very close to you  Isn't that Love?
Cuz you know  the countless number of tears you've cried
I look into your transparent eyes  and find a definite meaning for myself
Let me find your smile


I don't have to say anything  to show what I feel for you
If only you could know  straight from my heart

Often the city  changes colors bit by bit
See, we have another memory for ourselves

Take your every word,  every single one
Cuz I can be held so tight in your arms
The two of us could come together  Isn't that Love?
Even if there's  a future that no one else knows about
It'll be alright don't cry anymore
Holding hand to hand with you
Let's start walking

No it's not a fleeting moment's passion
But bit by bit it's something to nurture ourselves
The feeling of Love


Cuz you're here for me  Cuz there's a tomorrow
Cuz there's no way I could ever live alone
I feel so very close to you  Isn't that Love?
Cuz you know  the countless number of tears you've cried
I look into your transparent eyes  and find a definite meaning for myself
Let me find your smile
