So it’s goodnight
Why don’t you take a leap of faith and ask me in
And be temped by the moment
Don’t you think it’s time
To let imagination dance you from your doubts
So we can fall with abandon

I’ll shelter you
In wonder love
Till the midnight skies
Turn blue
But I won’t push
I’ll leave it up to you

Close your eyes
Can you feel me whisper closer against your skin
On a bed of velvet roses
With every little touch
My hands could tracer a path around your heart
Deep into your secrets

I’ll shelter you
In wonder love
Till the midnight skies
Turn blue
But I won’t push
I’ll leave it up to you

It’s only love that is
Crying out
It’s in your hands
Tell me baby how do I prove to you somehow
That you should know by now just who I am

Baby don’t be afraid, we’re just one more kiss away
Don’t waste a perfect moon
But I won’t push
I’ll leave it up to you
I’ll be true to you, Baby

But, I won’t push
I’ll leave it up to you
Leave it up to you, oh yes I will
It’s all in your hands,
In your heart

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We’d roll and fall in green
You had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me?
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too

Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, its me, Cathy come home
I’m so cold, let me in-a-your window

Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine alot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I’m coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master

Too long I roam in the night
I’m coming back to his side to put it right
I’m coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights

Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it’s me, Cathy

Tsubomi (The Bud)

Only now I know of time
For too long I have
Drifted, never turning back
Now I am standing, the tide
Drowning me
I never felt so weak,
‘Cos you mean everything to me.

Only now I feel your love
Golden, burning
Covering just like a glove
I feel the warmth of your gaze
Over me
Never felt such tranquility inside of me

And like a distant dream I see
The blossom vanishing
Just as each bud finally is blossoming
And I watch each petal dance
It’s way over to me
They fall
They fall
They fall
All around me

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever I’m searching for the light
On a cloud away from time
Where are memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

Only now do I see you
In the way that other people do
I see you clearer than before
And love you more
I never knew that I would feel this way

And like a distant dream I see
The blossom vanishing
Just as each bud finally is blossoming
And I watch each petal dance
It’s way over to me
They fall
They fall
They fall
All around me

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever I’m searching for the light
On a cloud away from time
Where are memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever I’m searching for the light
On a cloud away from time
Where are memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

Mirai e (To the Future)

Oh look down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
To guide you
Reach out, this hand is here for you

Mother, so kind
You gave everything to me
A torch to hold
A heart of gold
Words to live for, to help me
You said love to not forget
Being young I did not understand
But you held my hand,
Walked along with me

Dreams are always up high
Hanging from our reach
But that’s what keeps us striding on
Through clouds of uncertainty

This road is my story
Why would I give up?
What have I to lose?
Blank pages before me
Are crying out for words

Mother, so kind
I apologize for the times
I turned away

Oh look down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
To guide you
Reach out, this hand is here for you

Mother, so kind
I apologize for the times
I turned away

Oh look down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
To guide you
Reach out, this hand is here for you

Oh look down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
To guide you
Reach out, this hand is here for you

I can see in front of me
A sky of colours
From red to gold

Reach out, reach out this hand is here to hold you
Reach out, reach out this hand is here to guide you
Reach out, reach out this hand is here to hold you
Reach out, reach out this hand is here to guide you

Mama e (To Mom)

Twenty years of my life, just like a star in the night
She lit my way and watched me as I lay
When the tears were abound,
She would turn me back around
Oh Mama can’t you see, you mean everything to me

Stormy times when I fell down
She’d lift me from the ground
Put the fire back inside o’ me
She never let me down

The days we cried, the days we laughed
Even the days we fought
The times we wiled away
Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, our time is always on my mind
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
Mama, can you hear, whispers in the air?
Arigato

Shattered pieces on the ground
Fallen without any sound
Yet you still could hear them fall
The shattered mirror ball

Helping re-build again
Towering so tall again
I can see my dreams
And touch the stars

Short words and my insolence
Sorry if I wore you down
Now I see all you gave me
I will never let you down

The days we cried, the days we laughed
Even the days we fought
The times we wiled away
Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, please don’t cry, you helped me to fly
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
Mama, our dream lives on in me
Forever

The torch you gave to me
I hold for all to see
It helps me though bad weather
The warmth is comforting
I know you’re here
You’re up above
The sky shimmers with love
My heart lies open
To you my shining star

The days we cried, the days we laughed
Even the days we fought
The times we wiled away
Hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, please don’t cry, you helped me to fly
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
Mama, can you hear whispers in the air?

Akizakura (Cosmos)

Sweet cosmos in a pink shadow
In the warm daylight you glow
Just like my Mama
Bathed in a gentle yellow
She is fragile,
I love her so

Together we sit in the sun
We turn album pages one by one
Mama tells me stories like it’s the end
She tells them like we’ll never meet again

And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care

Memories are running round and round
How I wish I could go back now
To the times I didn’t realize your love
To the times I kept to myself

Leaving with my many bags
I can tell from your eyes you are sad
That I must go, but it is time
It is time
My love, my love, will stay behind

And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care

Warabigami-yamatoguchi (A Child God)

Gentle child, you have my love
Born to this world from heaven above
Light in your eyes
Breath in your cry
You are an angel
Sent from the sky

Irayo hey, irayo hooi
Irayo, oh, my loving child
Don’t cry baby
Hey yo hey yo
The light above
Will keep blessing you
Grow strong baby
Hey yo hey yo
I am watching over you

On summer days when sun burns strong
I will fan you, keep you cool
On winter nights when ice winds blow
I will hold you, keep you close

Irayo hey, irayo hooi
Irayo, oh, my loving child
Don’t cry baby
Hey yo hey yo
The light above
Will keep blessing you
Grow strong baby
Hey yo hey yo
I am watching over you

Stormy clouds may surround
Serpentine, follow us around
We must carry on with the light
Held in our hearts, glowing bright

Irayo hey, irayo hooi
Irayo, oh, my loving child
Don’t cry baby
Hey yo hey yo
The light above
Will keep blessing you
Grow strong baby
Hey yo hey yo
I am watching over you

Mama ni Sasageru shi (Mother of Mine)

Mother of mine you gave to me
All of my life to do as I please
I owe everything I have to you
Mother sweet Mother of mine, Mother of mine
When I was young
You showed me the right way
Things should be done without your love
where where I be

Mother sweet Mother of mine
Mother, you gave me happiness
Much more than words can say
I pray the Lord that He may

Bless you every night and everyday
Mother of mine now I am grown
I can match great all on my own
I’d like to give you what you gave to me

Mother sweet Mother of mine
Mother you gave me happiness
Much more than words can say
I pray the Lord that He may

Bless you every night and everyday
Mother of mine now I am grown

Bless you every night and everyday
Mother of mine now I am grown
I can match great all on my own
I’d like to give you what you gave to me

Itsumo nan-do demo (Anytime)

A voice calls softly
It calls from within
To trust my steps
And to keep on dreaming

Around night falls and all turns to grey
But I hold a light to light my way

The sky is clear blue
No matter what we do
The road is long
But I see the light
That shines at the end
The arms reaching in
I know you are waiting for me

Though sorrows, troubles
May gather up high
Broken glass pieces
Fall from the sky
Memories though sad
Will hold something true
Shattered glass pieces
Reflect something new

A voice calls softly
It calls from within
To trust my steps
And to keep on dreaming

Around night falls and all turns to grey
But I hold a light deep in my heart
I knew you were waiting right from the start

Flower

So to the sky let us bloom like flowers of love
Even the clouds cannot shadow our endless love
You just keep reaching to the stars above
And believe your dreams will come true

I look upon your face and into your sad eyes
I see the crosses you bear
But you are still so young
And with so many years to come
You have too many cares

When you have so far to go it is easy to be blind
To all that keeps us marching on
And to what we are out to find

So to the sky let us bloom like flowers of love
Even the clouds cannot shadow our endless love
You just keep reaching to the stars above
And believe your dreams will come true

The morning comes without fail
It never waits for me
The sun shines too brightly
I’m always late out the door
I’m always wanting more
That’s everyday for me

But then I see your smile
And I feel the warmth in your heart
The colors all around shine brighter
Now can you feel summer here at last?

So to the sky let us bloom like flowers of love
Even the clouds cannot shadow our endless love
You just keep reaching to the stars above
And believe your dreams will come true

Today you may feel that there is a hole in your heart
But if you just keep on holding on
One day you’ll find that missing part

So to the sky let us bloom like flowers of love
Even the clouds cannot shadow our endless love
Now is the time to let any fears turn to dust
And believe your dreams will come true
So to the sky let us bloom like flowers of love
Even the clouds cannot shadow our endless love
Now is the time to let any fears turn to dust
And believe your dreams will come true

Shiroi Iro Ha Koibito No Iro  (The Colour of Our Love)

White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love
White is the colour of petals that fell
Oh, the sweet lily smell

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Blue is the colour of first love
Oh, the colour of our love
Blue as the sky on a clear summer’s day
On the meadows we lay

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Red is the colour of memories
Oh, the colour of the seas
Glowing in red from the sky above
When you gave back my love

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Sen no Kaze ni Natte (I Am A Thousand Winds)

Don’t stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Don’t stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
I am the swift rush of birds in flight
Soft stars that shine at night

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Don’t stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Hana (Flowers Bloom)

I see the river in the daylight
Glistening as it flows its way
I see the people travelling
Through the night and through the day
I see their paths colliding
Water drops and golden rays
Flowers bloom, oh, flowers bloom
On this blessed day

Let the tears fall back
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
[The] Flowers will reach full bloom

I see your tears in the daylight
Glistening as they fall from you
I see your love escaping
Flowing free and flowing true
I want to make these rivers
Into something shining new
Let me make these flowers bloom
Let me make them bloom for you

Let the tears fall back
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
[The] Flowers will reach full bloom

I want to take you to the river
Down to where the flowers grow
I want to show you the beauty
From our seedlings sown
They shine in red and blue
Butter-coloured yellow glows
Flowers bloomed, oh, flowers bloomed
See how our love has grown

Let the tears fall back
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
[The] flowers will reach full bloom

Nada Sousou (So Tears)

Turning the pages of old photographs
I whisper thanks to each and every one
Deep in my heart you have come, come to live
Sure as the sun to see me through

Come rain or shine however the day may be
You shelter me with your smile
However far your memories may fade
Traces of you I hope to find
Then you appear and I drown in my own tears

I wish on a star, the first star of the night
You’ll find me here every evening of the year
As twilight approaches I look to the sky
Searching for you with all of my heart

In grief and joy I long for you and your smile
Hoping you feel the way I do
If only you could find me from where you are
I do believe somewhere in time
I do believe I will see you once again

Come rain or shine however the day may be
You shelter me with your smile
But as each memory of you fades away
I’m so alone longing for you
You’re on my mind as I drown in my own tears

Missing you so I’m missing you so
You’re on my mind as I drown in my own tears

Tsubasa Wo Kudasai (Wings to Fly)

I, I have a dream
A dream of you and me
We’re flying high above
We’re soaring over sea

Bless me with some wings
For I, so want to fly
These precious white wings
Will take me soaring high

To the sun that lights the day
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me

I, I have a dream
We’re high above the trees
The wind is in my hair
The ocean breeze takes me

Tell me, what can I do?
To earn, earn me some wings?
Some precious white wings
To help me live my dreams

To the sun that lights the day
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me

Sotsugyou Shasin (Graduation Photo)

When the world gets me down I find myself
Reaching for that old leather-bound book
And there he smiles the gentle smile I know so well
And I am back where I used to be

Couldn’t speak when I saw you in town
I picked you out easily from the crowd
A mirror image of your high school photograph
You took me back where we used to be

So won’t you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are

Willows spoke, willows swayed to and from
As we walked hand in hand by the river flow
But now the views have changed that I used to know so well
Can’t take me back where we used to be

So won’t you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are

Come light my way from where you are

Jidai (Time)

Oh what a heartache
Life has brought on me
No more tears to cry
I’ve cried a sea
I’m lost, deep below
Lost and alone

When time has passed by
These tears will have dried
I’ll talk of this passing with even a smile
Cold rain, dark clouds
But now blue skies
The wind blows the way it feels
Time passes by
So let’s not let trouble pull us down
The wind blows the way it feels
It moves without a sound

It goes round and around
It goes around without a sound
Many joys and sorrows abound
Love is lost
Love pursued
Love is found
Time goes round and around
Without a sound

Broken hearts, in a dream
Keep holding on
Looking to another day, another dawn
Ahead for you are radiant skies
Shining light into your heart, into your eyes
So don’t let trouble pull you down
The wind blows the way it feels
It moves without a sound

It goes round and around
It goes around without a sound
Many joys and sorrows abound
Love is lost
Love pursued
Love is found
Time goes round and around
Without a sound
Oh what a heartache
Life has brought on me
No more tears to cry
I’ve cried a sea
I’m lost, deep below
Lost and alone

Tsunami

The way you calm my soul, and then stir it up
The way you thrill me so, and then lift me up
It’s like a wave that sways me all around
Just let me flow along and let it be me.

The day you touched my hand, you opened up my eyes
The day you reached my heart, I saw no-one but you
The feeling grew, I pray our love will last
Just let me be with you, so close to your heart

You cast a spell on me, I can’t control myself
Don’t ever make this magic disappear
Enchanted by the rush of waves
Oh my destiny, together we shall be one

Oh what a feeling, so blown away, I’m blinded, yet I see so clear
You toss me and tease me, oh anyway you like
I know I’m head over heels
Oh what a feeling, I’m swept away
This surge of love, keeps swelling inside
You rock me and please me, oh, anyway you like
I’ll search for your love, as deep as the sea, I will

They say our love will end, the storm will be too rough
They say our love won’t last, they just don’t know the truth
It’s like a wave that sweeps up on the shore
Just let me feel the force, take me away

You cast a spell on me, I can’t control myself
Don’t ever make this magic disappear
Enchanted by the rush of waves
Oh my destiny, together we shall be one

Oh what a feeling, so blown away, I’m blinded, yet I see so clear
You toss me and tease me, oh anyway you like
I know I’m head over heels
Oh what a feeling, I’m swept away
This surge of love, keeps swelling inside
You rock me and please me, oh, anyway you like
I’ll search for your love, as deep as the sea, I will

Oh what a feeling, I’m blown away, I’m blinded, yet I see so clear
You toss me and tease me, anyway you like
I know I’m head over heels
Oh what a feeling, so swept away
This surge of love keeps swelling inside
You rock me and please me, anyway you like
As long as I live, I’ll give you my heart I do
Like waves in the sea, eternal my love, for you
I love you I do, forever my love, It’s true

Say Yes

Sometimes I see
That faraway look in your eyes
Won’t you talk to me
And tell me what’s been going on
Don’t keep your feelings hidden inside
Well I want you to know
There’s nothing I won’t do for you

The world’s a better place
When I see your face
Each day, oh it’s true
I’m falling deeper in love with you
Now I need to know if you feel it too
There comes a time, to cross the line
And make it real, so tell me what you feel

Now my heart is in your hands
Tell me that you understand
All the joy and tenderness
We could share if you say yes
All the love that we deserve
Is hanging on one single word
So come on won’t you please say yes

Sometimes I say,
Your words belong to my daydream
Won’t you throw the key for reaching you and make it real
I need the words filling my heart
It’s easy to see, you’re holding me under your spell
The memory of your kiss lingers on my lips

So strong can’t you tell
I want you safe in my arms where you belong
I need your love from this moment on
Till the end of time, so speak your mind
If this is real, just tell me how you feel

Now my heart is in your hands
Tell me that you understand
All the joy and tenderness
We could share if you say yes
All the love that we deserve
Is hanging on one single word
So come on won’t you please say yes

My destiny is say yes
So come on won’t you say yes
Now my heart is in your hands
Tell me that you understand
All the joy and tenderness
We could share if you say yes
All the love that we deserve
Is hanging on one single word
So come on won’t you please say yes

Roman Hikou (Romantic Flight)

Just say the words
I’m thinking of you
And sometimes that’s the key
that unlocks the door
When you flip the coin don’t you know
that there’s always,
Don’t you know, another side to see
Got to keep moving on
Though some times it’s so hard on you
When you get to the end
that’s where you can begin, a new start

Right from the very start
I can still recall the nights when
We shared our secrets in the dark
A voice that is calling from afar
So just grab your bag let’s get away now
A romantic flight up in the sky
These feelings that overflow my heart

Running away, you know that’s not the answer
Everybody knows that’s the easy way out
If you give up now you’re losing your only,
you’re only chance
You’ve lost before you start
You should know it by now
Everything has a season
You’ve got to grab hold and take this
only chance or it’s gone

Just take a look deep inside your heart
I know you’ll see
Before you lose sight move right away
Just follow along with me my friend
So just grab your bag let’s get away now
A romantic flight up in the sky
These feelings that overflow my heart

Don’t you ever forget
Your heart is beating loud
I’m right here by your side
Just give it a try, gonna fly

Somewhere deep down inside your beating heart
Before you lose sight move right away
Just follow along with me my friend
So just grab your bag let’s get away now
A romantic flight up in the sky
These feelings that overflow my heart

No matter what you do no matter
where you are I’ll be there for you
You are my friend, don’t ever forget
So just grab your bag let’s get away now
A romantic flight up in the sky
These feelings that overflow my heart

Love Story

Before this magic night falls and fades away
I’ve got to find the words to steal your heart away
You’re such a vision
Oh baby, listen
I may be puttin it all on the line

I get so weak when I look into your eyes
I feel the heat baby
I must be hypnotized
But if I could
Well, we both know I would
Stop the hands of time
Here tonight

It seemed when I met you
We’d been here before
That I didn’t forget you
On some other shore
Fate was my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms suddenly

My heart is blind to other eyes
It just sees you
It couldn’t fool me even if I wanted it to
Your love has saved me
Your smile is sacred
I want to is be with you all my life

There is no fantasy, oh no, not anymore
You’re much more real to me
Than anything before
Now that you’re here
Well it all seems clear
I’m gonna take the fall
Take it all

Love is forever
As free as the wind
The nothing else matters
When it comes again
Time is my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms

It seemed when I met you
We’d been here before
That I didnt forget you
On some other shore
Fate was my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms suddenly

My love is in motion tonight
And it’s time to set it free
Cause you’re the one
The only one
Who could deliver me
Your love is an ocean of fire
When you take me to my need
That I will remember
For all eternity

Love is forever
As free as the wind
The nothing else matters
When it comes again
Time is my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms

It seemed when I met you
We’d been here before
That I didn’t forget you
On some other shore
Fate was my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms suddenly

True Love

Just like a summer breeze I still can remember
the gentleness of your smile
Even today I still recall
Still shining so brightly the image is burned deep inside of my memory
And now they change into bitter tears

And I believed every word you said
But in the end oh I hurt you so bad
We were chasing a dream that is
impossible so unattainable don’t you know
Sometimes the dream it has to end

Suddenly you are still, you turn away from me
Your gaze it drops to the ground
Just like a gentle, gentle rain

I can still recall the day I first met you
The image so clear to me
Tears they may fall, but nothing has changed

Staring at you feel you so close to me
You were the only thing that I could see
We were chasing a dream that is
impossible so unattainable don’t you know
Sometimes the dream it has to end
Sometimes the dream it has to end

Hitomi wo Tojite (Close Your Eyes)

I wake up just to find the empty space
I try to get to sleep again, and imagine you’re here
I vaguely heard you whispering my name
I try to reach my arms to you
But you’re not there

Then I realize it’s just a dream
I have to face another day, it’s nearly dawn
The morning light’s come shining like a stream
I have to face the truth again, that you’re really gone

How should l know why everything’s the same
When I can’t hold you, kiss you, hear you say you love me too
No way I could erase the memories of you
I keep inside, with all my might
Cause they show I’m still in love with you
Your love’s forever

Everytime I close my eyes
I can see you by my side
Tell me dear, what else can I do?
It doesn’t bother me at all
How many seasons fall
You’ll be always here in my heart

If you ever ask me to, someday
Maybe I could be strong enough to get over you
I’d rather spend my nights and days
With all these pain and these regrets
Just crying over you

How should I understand how life goes on
Without you I won’t last a day, every night we used to pray
I wish I could forget so I could be free
I don’t know why, although I tried
I’m falling deeper in love with you
I wish forever

Everytime I close my eyes
I can see you by my side
Tell me dear, what else can I do?
It doesn’t bother me at all
How many seasons fall
You’ll be always here in my heart
Your love’s forever

Everytime I close my eyes
I can see you by my side
Tell me dear, what else can I do?
It doesn’t bother me at all
How many seasons fall
You’ll be always here in my heart

I close my eyes and try to find
The traces of your love so kind
Tell me dear, what else can I do?
Love will never fade away
That’s just what you would say
I know we’ll never be apart
You’ll be always here in my heart

Sakurazaka (Sakura Ban)

With all my heart
I wish you the best
As I sing to this gentle wind
Love is still love
It keep going on
It remains

Light is streaming through the leaves
The scent of cherry blossom hill
Crimson fades away
As if to take place of sorrow

You were by my side
I was in love with you
Even though you are one and the only
There was nothing I could do

Even though I knew that this was love
Though I can tell spring is in the air
All the things I have dreamt
Will remain as a dream

A simple kiss on the cheek
Color the cherry blossom hill
I wanted to hold you close in my arms
Wanted to hold you tight

The city we live in
The promise we had made
We would have stayed together forever
But everything turned into tears

Even though I knew that this was love
Flowers will bloom without making a sound
You will stay the same
You are who you were back then

We can’t see each other
Changing of the seasons
My heart goes out to you

Beautiful moment
Beautiful sea
What a beautiful time I had beautiful man

You were the only (one and the only)
One to ever understand
I will follow all that I admire
I’ll keep walking down the road

Even though I knew that this was love
Though I can tell spring is in the air
All the things I have dreamt
Will remain with all my heart

I wish you all best (nothing but the best)
As I sing to this gently wind
Love is still love
It keeps going on it remains

However

Can you feel the breeze pushing us with ease to where lovers flock
Put your hand in mine, let’s take our time, as we start to walk

Born on this lonely star, it’s hard to know just who you are
At times the world makes you feel so small
Some people slip on by and fade into the city sky
No chance to get to know them at all
When stranded on this concrete beach with dreams so out of reach
A lost soul, I was stuck in a maze
But when you came to me, you shone a light so I could see
You were the one to brighten my days, ooh-ooh-ooh

If I ruled our words so I could change the name of love
I would call it the everlasting in between you and me
Then all the things that I could never say to you would be so clear,
shouted out and cheered
Only then would you know what you mean to me
All I ever want is to be where you are
Mapped our destinies onto my heart
Spun a thread to give us cover from the thunder and the rain
Spun a thread, so we can start again

I still remember when I turned my back on you that summer day
at the first signs of love
Too young and blind to see a good thing right in front of me
I don’t know what I was thinking of
But now whenever we’re apart, it weighs upon my heart
I always feel you deep inside of me
If living now without you by my side is a prison cage
Then the two of us together is the only way
I can be free

Oooh – With the world on my shoulders I could feel my heart grow colder
with nothing to lose, honey
Oooh – I was looking for a place where I could ease my blackening blues
There were nights when I would cry myself to sleep
It’s like we met too late and couldn’t keep
Guess we ended up taking the long way home
Now that seems like a short lifetime ago
To the one I hurt so badly, now I’m gonna let it show
That I love you more than love itself can know

If I ruled the world so I might change the game of love
I would make it the everlasting of which we used to dream
Then all the things that
I could never say to you will come to light,
shout it out tonight
Only then would you see what you mean to me

From the day we stumbled upon a romance
To the weekends that we went out to dance
From the little child that remains inside your voice
To the strength in your eyes and in your poise
Gonna keep everything that you are to me, so closely to my heart
Put your hand in mine, as we begin to walk
Can you feel the breeze that’s pushing us along
To where we lovers flock

Robinson

Softly the spring winds whisper to me
Feeling the sadness in the gentle breeze
From the riverbank I see, moving so free
How far will you run? I follow silently

Lock them away with my memories
Retell the tale the story
sounds so sweet
Though the darkness may descend,
night will turn to day
Smiling through the tears
I know I’ll find a way

Once again we’re in the same old place same time
And I know that I will use the same old line
Don’t you know that sometimes simple words they bring
A miracle can’t you see

Hold me baby I won’t let go
Take you to a place we both know
A new world where no one ever can find us
I will have the strength for us both
Fly you to the stars up above
Oh my love a dream of love made reality

Just like a stray cat with nowhere to go
Sits in the corner feeling all alone
Gonna hold you in my arms, never be apart
All the things you fear they seem so far away
Waiting for you at the usual place
Look through the window staring into space
Wipe it clean so I can see peeking through the trees
Floating up above the new moon cries to me

Like the dream that lies there waiting for us both
Catch you by surprise a shock but then you know
Just like all the spirits in the sky above
We’ll be reborn can’t you see

Hold me baby I won’t let go
Take you to a place we both know
Scattered through the heavens a never ending song
I will have the strength for us both
Fly you to the stars up above
Oh my love a dream of love made reality

I will have the strength for us both
Fly you to the stars up above
Oh my love a dream of love made reality
Oh my love a dream of love made reality

First Love

I still regret the last time that we kissed
The scent of your perfume so strong on my lips
The cold that it takes of the sad goodbye

Where have you gone baby are you alone
I wish you’d call and tell me, When you were wrong
Will you dream of me, like I dream of you tonight

You’re always gonna be my love, my whole life
There are moments that are just meant to last forever
I remember to love you taught me how

You’re always gonna be the one I count it on
Without you I’m feeling so lost and lonely
I never will forget my first love

It’s so strange to me, our time has done
Even though I try can’t move on
I can still see your eyes
They won’t let me go

Where have you gone baby are you alone
I’m missing you so badly
I keep on crying
And all my tears never washed away the pain

You’re always be inside my heart apart of me
Nothing I can do with every love to change it
I hope that I have a place in your heart too

Now and forever you are still the one I count it on
Without you I’m feeling so lost and lonely
I never will forget my first love

You’re always gonna be my love, my whole life
There are moments that are just meant to last forever
I remember to love you taught me how

You’re always gonna be the one
Without you I’m feeling so lost so lonely
Now and forever my love

Mikazuki (Crescent Moon)

Together for a lifetime
I was so sure you’d always be mine
An ocean never ending
Now the tide has turned I fear

Wonderring how to live life without you
Trying to find something to hold on to
Without you

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feed some of your love, woah
Can you see in the blackened sky
This crescent moon, drifting way up high?
Wherever you may be tonight
I hope you see this moon bright

You said we’d stay together
All the hard times we could weather
But I felt words unspoken
Now our ending line is clear

Wonderring how to live life without you
Trying to find something to hold on to
Without you

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feed some of your love

I am seeing things not seen before
I am reaching out for something more
Still your arms around me
They keep me warm
I’m finding it so hard to move on

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feed some of your love, woah
Can you see in the blackened sky
This crescent moon, drifting way up high?
Wherever you may be tonight
I hope you see this moon bright

Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me

Sekaiju no Dareyori Kitto (Surely More Than Anyone in The World)

A summer day is passing by, the setting sun is shining down on your face
Together we’re hand in hand looking at the golden sky
How much I was waiting for this moment, it’s been so many nights without you
Wishing only that it would last forever more

You are the only one to make my dreams come true, I never thought that it could be so real
Now I believe that it was meant to be cos I found you here by my side
Oh I wanna be the one to show your smile to the world, so that your loneliness would fade away
Whatever comes today I’ll be there for you, let me give you happiness for tomorrow

For so many days you’ve been gone I know that you were going after your dreams
Although we were far away, always hoped your dreams would shine
Used to think about your smile every night as I cried myself to sleep and
My love for you is now stronger than ever before

You are the only one to make my dreams come true, I never thought that it could be so real
Now I believe that it was meant to be cos I found you here by my side
Oh I wanna be the one to show your smile to the world, so that your loneliness would fade away
Whatever comes today I’ll be there for you, let me give you happiness for tomorrow

You are the only one to bring me joy in this world, I always wanna have you in my life
Now I believe that it was meant to be cos I found you here by my side
Oh I wanna be the one to give my heart to you, the sorrow that you have would melt away
Whatever comes today I’ll be there for you, let me show you happiness for tomorrow
Whatever comes today I’ll be there for you, let me show you happiness for tomorrow

Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru (I’m Also  in Love With You)

I can see you now so close to me sleeping in the morning sun
Reaching out for you I recall the warmth of our first kiss
When I feel your breath against my skin, see your crooked little smile
Makes me wish forever we’d be lying here like this

And when tomorrow comes there are places I must go
Before the day is done time is turning way too slow

Cause I am falling
More in love with you
And it’s deeper now, than I ever knew
And every moment my heart only wants to
Fall in love with you

All the foolish sins of innocence quickly fade into the past
They won’t hold us down anymore now we found our way
There’s a ray of hope for both of us that old wounds will finally heal
And together we’ll rise above, find a better day

The sky may turn to grey but the clouds will soon be gone
And after all the rain there’s a rainbow up above

Cause I am falling
More in love with you
And it’s deeper now, than I ever knew
And every moment my heart only wants to
Fall in love with you

Change

We’re gonna find a way to change together we’re gonna last forever

From the day I fell for you my life’s a roller coaster
I worry when I wake up who you’re gonna be
And no matter what you do you are my guilty pleasure
A super natural animal personality

You make me nervous when you’re cold and you’re hot
There is something that you’ve got, when I hold you in my arms
You got me crazy with that small red birthday card
You’re playing with my heart do you wanna be my girlfriend

I wish you’d tell me we belong together, we’re gonna last forever
We have a kind of love and hate emotion but I just can’t help loving you
And baby that’s a beautiful blues

You can’t hear me anymore when I’m calling out so softly
I want you badly, want you bad, it’s a pain I feel inside
I remember what you said when we were high up on that mount ain
You love me, love me suddenly then you can’t decide

You make me nervous when you’re cold and you’re hot
There is something that you’ve got, when I hold you in my arms
When I get to the limit in a minute you can change
From a devil to a saint put the blame on human nature

We’ll find a way to change together- we’re gonna last forever
We have a kind of love and hate emotion like shooting stars up in the sky, but then you make me cry
You’ll always be the one, we’re gonna stay together
I believe a change is gonna come

You’re a miracle that makes me happy, I want to thank you baby
It’s amazing how you turn the winter into an endless summer

I wish you’d tell me we belong together- we’re gonna last forever
We have a kind of love and hate emotion but I just can’t help loving you

We’re gonna stay together – we’re gonna last forever
We’re gonna stay together – last forever

Taiyou no Uta (Midnight Sun)

I can still remember how the earth would tremble
The first time you touched my hand – oh baby
I felt the beauty of you, a love I fell right into
Even now I feel the same way

You woke me up when I walked in my sleep
And gave me something that I can believe

Well every time I’m with you all my favorite dreams come true
In a big rainbow world that was all black and white
I was safe and color blind in the life I left behind
I see a better forever through your eyes

Gone is all the fighting, all the crazy lying
From goodbyes that I’ve been through – before you
No more twisted meanings, no more angry feelings
That would strangle my emotions

Every moment is a second chance
A brand new invitation to the dance

Well every time I’m with you all my favorite dreams come true
In a big rainbow world that was all black and white
I was safe and color blind in the life I left behind
I see a better forever through your eyes

Through your eyes I’m seeing me
The way that I should always be
A smile that’s second nature after all
And even when I’m down you bring me back around
My back’s against the wall you’re my true believer

Every time I’m with you all my favorite dreams come true
In a big rainbow world that was all black and white
I was safe and color blind in the life I left behind
We’ll be together forever

Everything that you do makes it easy loving you
No more cutting little doubts this time I know I got it right
I was safe and color blind in the life I left behind
I see a better forever through your eyes

I see forever now
Through your eyes, through your eyes

Story

I’ve been trying to find the words to say to you
Wondering if you always knew of my unspoken love
‘Cause I know there could never be as beautiful a friend to me
Who’d crawl into a raging fire and bring me back to life
When I lose hope for happiness
You can make me laugh when I start to cry
Turn things around with all your tenderness
When my eyes don’t see the road ahead
You are my guiding light

I’m not alone
You’re always there for me
I’m standing strong and I’m not afraid at all
As long as I’m with you
We could share the love of friends forever more
Take all the hurt and the pain away
We love each other find what we’ve been dreaming of
And I’ll be your side
And our hearts will tell the of our love

If you feel like giving up and letting go
You don’t have to dry your eyes or force a painted smile
You just call my name out loud and I will come, I’ll come running
If you need a little sympathy, a chance to breathe
There’s no wrong we can’t overcome
When it’s the two of us using one voice
You’re upside down and just holding on
If you fall too far I’m gonna give you my wings
That will lift you to the stars

You’re not alone
I’m always there for you
I’m standing strong and I’m not afraid at all
As long as I’m with you
We could share the love of friends forever more
Take all the hurt and the pain away
We love each other find what we’ve been dreaming of
And I’ll be by your side
And our hearts will tell the story of our love

If you need shelter, you’ll be safe here inside my arms – oh yeah
And there’ll be no one, that’s gonna love you the way I do
It’s a never ending story you know you’ll always be a part of my heart
So baby I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t
Ever let you go

You’re not alone
I’m always there for you
I’m standing strong and I’m not afraid at all
As long as I’m with you
We could share the love of friends forever more
Take all the hurt and the pain away
We love each other find what we’ve been dreaming of
And I’ll be by your side
And our hearts will tell the story of our love

Tsuki no Shizuku (Drop of The Moon)

There are nights when I wake
From the sound of your whisper in the wind
Like a deep blue serenade
Stealing me from my dream again

I can still smell the flowers
In our room that have long been dead and gone
I counted days by the hour
Since you left me standing in a summer rainstorm

Now tomorrow comes too slow
There is no escape from a love that used to be
I live in a fragile past
Burning lights in the night till you come back to me

In my heart I pray maybe one day I will find
All the reasons why that I’m still missing you
As the river flows through the corners of my mind
It won’t wash away the stain of loneliness
In the waters a reflection of me
And I’m crying the tears of the moon

Silver moon on the horizon
All the world can feel the power, see the beauty within
All I see is the sadness, a cold distant feeling
Lingers too long

How can endless love just give up and fade away
Breaking promises we’d have a better life
Will we meet again in another time and place
Or will I find a way to get over you

In my heart I pray maybe one day I will find
All the reasons why that I’m still missing you
As the river flows through the corners of my mind
It won’t wash away the stain of loneliness
In the waters a reflection of me
And I’m crying the tears of the moon

Aitai (Meet)

Many years ago like it’s yesterday
We were little kids who loved to play
It was me walking you home after school
All I ever wanted to do was to be close to you
I knew that we’d always be
Good friends for all time

You were shy and gentle with a pretty smile
I would love to tease you like a little child
When your tears fell I could make you laugh
Those good old days are gone we grew up way too fast
Now I’m all alone

In the night I can hold you close, rock you in my arms
And at times I can maybe fool myself, by dreaming it’s not make believe

And together living the life we planned
Two of us running hand in hand
If we stop the world where it used to be
In a summer love that’ll last eternally
I miss you

I remember walking with you on the shore
Everyday together made me want you more
Makes it hander to face you’ve gone away
I will always feel the pain, and never forget the promise you made
My heart won’t let go

As I watch lovers passing by all I have inside
Is a deep aching emptiness cause I know it should be you and I

And together living the life we planned
Two of us running hand in hand
If we stop the world where it used to be
In a summer love that’ll last eternally
I miss you

So I wonder if I’ll find a way
To fall in love another day
But until then all I seem to do
Is to hold no to every moment missing you

And together living the life we planned
Two of us running hand in hand
If we stop the world where it used to be
In a summer love that’ll last eternally
I miss you

Chijo no Hoshi (Earthly Star)

A Glimpse of Pleiades in the breeze
In the wind is a sandy universe
All of our heroes have disappeared
Never had the chance to get what they deserve
Out in the field is a Pegasus
Venus on the corner of a street
Tell me where have all the people gone
Never had the chance to get what they deserve
All of us have seem to forgotten
The stars that we have on earth
None of us can help but gaze into the sky
Tell me, swallow
What do you see from above?
Where is the light? The stars we have on our land
Tell me, swallow
Where have the glory gone?
Where have all the stars
On earth, on our planet gone?

On a cliff I can see Jupiter
Under the water is a Sirius
All of our heroes have disappeared
Never had the chance to get what they deserve
Running after fame and glory
The result is a same old story
People and up grasping ice and they shiver
Tell me, swallow
What do you see form above?
Where is the lights? The stars of our planet
Tell me, swallow
Where have the glory gone?
Where have all the stars
On earth, on our planet gone?

Running after fame and glory
The result is a same old story
People and up grasping ice and they shiver
A Glimpse of pleiades in the breeze
In the wind is a sandy universe
All of our heroes have disappeared
Never had the chance to get what they deserve
Tell me, swallow
What do you see from above?
Where is the light? The stars we have on our planet
Tell me, swallow
Where have the glory gone?
Where have all the stars
On earth, on our planet gone?

Nada Sou Sou

I turn the page to my old memories
And silently thank you for all you’ve done for me
You were the one who was there to cheer me on
I’ll hold a place for you in my secret heart
And sometimes late at night when I lie in the dark
I see the halo of your smile
And in the dawn the dream slowly fades into blue
Your voice remains calling my name
Can’t help myself all my tears are for you

Day after day I can still feel your love
The world keeps on turning there’s nothing I can change
No going back to undo what is wrong
Tomorrow I’ll wake up but you will still be gone
I’ll see your face above in a cloud in the sky
Or feel your shadow next to mine
Or hear sweet memories when our love was new
Echoed in the wind, soft against my skin
And once again all my tears are for you

And when you’re all alone do you still think of me
Do you wonder where I am
Or did you turn the page on the world we once knew
There will come a day the pain will go away
But until then all my tears are for you

Itsuka No Merry Christmas

Every December the lights they shine so bright
Once again the celebration begins
Everywhere I go I feel the energy
They ignite these warm feelings within

Caught up in the rush of all my Christmas shopping
I’m searching for a special gift from me to you
Walking to the station I’m thinking of you
The day is done, now I’m on my way home

Always forever, just take hold of my hand
and I know that we will walk this path together
Shining so brightly for all the world to see
We can take all our dreams and make them reality

All that I treasure, all the things you give to me
All the stars in the heavens up above us
I know that they’ll always live deep down inside me
Everything that I feel for you this Merry Christmas

Walk from the station, I feel my heartbeat race
For I know that very soon I will be home
You greet me at door, a kiss a short embrace
You’re so busy with the preparations

In the twilight hour as we exchange our presents
You smile and say you love me and my feelings soar
Stare into each others eyes, it’s so clear to me
I’ve found my home, you know it makes me love you more

Always forever, just take hold of my hand
And I know that we will walk this path together
Shining so brightly for all the world to see
We can take all our dreams and make them reality

I still remember the day you made me see
that a life without your love it has no meaning
And now that I know what your love means to me
Through the years I’ll be wishing you a Merry Christmas

On that December night, underneath the moonlight
I promised you that we’d never ever be apart
Swept up in the moment I broke down and cried
The pain of love from the bottom of my heart

And as the years go by, each passing Christmas
I reflect on what life’s given me
The gentle snow fall, the look of love in your eyes
Times together, my sweet memories

Christmas Eve

All alone I watch the quiet rain
Wonder if it’s gonna snow again
Silent night holy night

I was praying
You’d be here with me
What it used to be
Silent night holy night
For Christmas

Somewhere far away
The sleigh bells ring
I remember
When we used to sing
Silent night holy night

I keep you inside me
Oh the truth is unspoken
So my heart won’t be broken
On Christmas

They lit the trees
Along with avenue
Twinkling silver with a touch of blue
Silent night holy night

Carroll, Around Christmas

Oh the christmas carols play on
Once again the season will come
Spirit of the holiday is so strong
But will it supply the answers for us?

Oh the christmas carols play on
But they play for somebody else
Searching for a remedy for so long
A new future of the two of us

Not long ago
I was so lost and confuse
And I tried reaching out for you
Something was wrong
And I can’t find the reason
You’re not here, you’re so far away

Don’t you know the time has come, it just can’t be ignored
All the hurt, the pain, I just can’t take it anymore

Oh the christmas carols play on
Things we did, they can’t be undone
Thinking back to a time not long ago
Things were better for the two of us

Oh the christmas carols play on
Searching for answers on my own
Someday we will find what we’re looking for
A new future for the both of us

I feel you near
And your voice calls out to me
Temptation of your warm embrace
Oh but I know
Gotta fight these distraction
Gonna find what I really need

Could it be we need to take sometime to be alone
Maybe I will start to see more clearly when you’re gone

Oh the Christmas carol play on
But they play for somebody else
Searching for a remedy for so long
A new future for the two of us

Oh the Christmas carol play on
Reminisce I sing one more song
Moving on but we never will know
What the future holds for both of us

Oh the Christmas carol play on
Just for you I sing one last song
Moving on but we never will know
What the future holds for both of us

Siroi Koibitotachi (White Lovers)

As the light of day begins to fade I feel the falling snow
The sadness that I feel within my heart, the pain, how it grows
Through the tears the light goes dim I struggle in the dark
The seasons slowly pass me by, all I can do is sit and watch

I can feel the chill out on the street, I see my breath turn cold
The wind it whistles through the fading leaves, I’m lost and alone
At the old brick station they’re waiting by the gate
For someone who will never come, oh no they’re never coming home

And through the tears I hear a melody calling out a lover’s serenade
The falling snow, my memories, my favorite love song
I feel the beating of my heart so strong let’s take the time to celebrate
Tonight the tears they fill my eyes for our white love

Deep inside my dream I’m traveling upon the distant shore
So softly I can hear the church bells ring, a sound I adore
Suddenly from up above a vision heavenly
And now I know that everything, everything will be alright

And through it hurts me to the core I gotta try to flight this loneliness
Somewhere the fire of true love burns deep inside of me
I’ve got to keep the passion strong don’t ever let it go, lover’s foreverness
I know that one day I will see a pure new white love

And through the tears I hear a melody calling out a lover’s serenade
So dear to me, I won’t forget my favorite love song
And once again I’m on the path to love let’s take the time to celebrate
This Winter tears they fill my eyes for our white love
Forever white love
My love

It’s the sadness in my heart whenever we’re apart
Tears of joy and pain, oh my love

Winter Song

The dusk is gaining ground, lights flicker all around
And as I walk the lonely streets, the snow is falling ever faster
Looking to the sky, I wonder where you are
The way you came into my life, filling everyday with laughter

Almost blinded by the snowflakes on my face
Despite the chill I feel the warmth of your embrace
Intoxicated now, I stagger like a fool
I feel that surely I could float away

I want to show you everything I see, the way I’m feeling
I need to be with you tonight, to hold your arms around me
My love for you is deeper than the deepest snows of winter
The greatest gift I ever had was you

The sparkling crystal world, this magic winter land
If I could share it all with you, and make-believe forever after

Like a blanket over everything in sight
In the hush I hear the silence of the night
The snow has covered all the streets we walked along
I hope you still remember me tonight

Can’t remember feeling this way before
Do you know, do you understand what’s going through my heart
Well the way that I love you, I just hope you feel it too
Tonight wherever you are

I want to show you everything I see, the way I’m feeling
I need to be with you tonight, to hold your arms around me
My love for you in deeper than the deepest snows of winter
The greatest gift I ever had was you
The greatest gift I ever had was you

This is my song for you

Silent Eve

Gently it falls
the white, white snow
Stop and stare at the scenery
Sounds in the street, the Christmas tree
I recall things we did long ago

Although time’s been good to me
Very good to me
Been in and out of love
But why on this night so dear to me
You’re not here, don’t know where you are

Although we said goodbye, so many reasons why
But sometimes there are reasons that you cannot see
Could not escape all my insecurity, all around darkness over me

Promised to be just friends but we know in the end
that’s just a fantasy that never will come true
Wanna let you know I won’t come between you two
I’ll be strong I’ll get over you

I believe deep in my heart
I can do what is right for me
Oh but I know I lose control, sometimes love is a burden you bear

Think back all the memories, things that used to be
I know I must be strong
Just as summer leads into the fall, now it’s time for me to move on

Although we said goodbye, so many reasons why
But sometimes there are reasons that you cannot see
A Christmas card, picture and memory
Even now they’re calling out to me

Although I try to smile, just for one day I cry
I know there’s nothing I can do to make it right
I know happiness one day will return to me
Pray for me on this silent night

I know happiness one day will return to me
Pray for me on this silent night

Pride

I promised on a star
While Looking at the southern sky
I thought of you, of you and I

Whatever come what may
I’ll always wear a smile
Our love goes on forever

I think of you
As a special part of my life
My heart cries out

To the stars and the moon
To bring your sweet love back to me
Because I was born to love you
I want to share my life with you

I tell you this right now
It feels so good to love you like I do
And I pray to love you more

And now I have learned
It’s the glow of your smile that reminds me
That I trust you and pray you trust me too

Give happiness a chance
You and I can share a love of loves
That will last eternally

You have taught me how to love
To share freedom and solitude
But above all you keep me warm

When I tremble in the night
You took me into your arms
And embraced me like you have never done before

I tell you this right now
If feels so good to love you like I do
And I pray to love you more every day

There were moments I confess
I believeI could fly away
Across the sky just I like a bird

If I had wings to fly
I’d fly directly to your heart
And I would ask you to follow, follow me

Promise on a star
While looking at the southern sky
Do it for you, for you and I

I tell you this right now
I show tears instead of a smile
All love is fair (our love is fair)
Our love is here (and it’s here to stay)?

Hanamizuki (Dogwood Flower)

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow’r,I’d give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

Summer heat weighing down on us
This boat is too weak and so in me, please trust
I will follow you
Please go ahead and I will be there soon

A dogwood flow’r, I’d give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last foreverI wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow’r, I’d give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last foreverI wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

Anata No Kiss O Kazoemashou (Count Your Kisses)

Sitting on the floor
Chin against my knees
Hiding from the light
And shutting out the day

Promises you made
Broken like my heart
Whispered words of love
Fade out with the dawn

If I knew that this day was coming
I would have held you
Never to go from your arms
Missing you

Counting all your kisses
Holding back the tears
Wishing you were here again
Want you here beside me
One by one the memories

Bring me back to you
Rememb’ring when you were mine

Staring at myself
Looking for the light
Seeing nothing but
The emptiness inside

All my yesterdays
Vanished with the sun
Night has turned to day
And dreams to dust

In a world that’s constantly changing
Whatever happens
Always remember I love you
Missing you

Seeking all your kisses
Thinking of your smile
Wishing you were near again
Want you here beside me
Memories of yesterday

Embers of a flame
Sunny days when you were mine

Dreaming of your kisses
Trying to forget
Closing off my foolish heart
Never to love again
All alone I think of you
Do you think of me?
Rememb’ring when you were mine

Will the nights and days cure me of the pain?
Please, somebody, say
Trying to keep my heart from cryin’
In your eyes, in your mind, tell me what it is you see
Tell me why you took your love away from me
Can I cry now?

Counting all your kisses
Holding back the tears
Wishing you were here again
Want you here beside me
One by one the memories
Bring me back to you
Rememb’ring when you were mine

Seeking all your kisses
Thinking of your smile
Wishing you were near again
Want you here beside me
Memories of yesterday
Embers of a flame
Sunny days when you were mine

Everything

My life’s been sad and blue for, oh, so long
Each day seems like a life time all alone
Strange to think that you could be someone who
Is all alone and waiting for someone, too

Oh, how I’ve dreamed of love to call my own
To cherish me as I have never known
Should we meet I know my dreams would come true
And loneliness would fade away.and we would laugh together just the way
That lovers do

And then when you’d hold me tight
Oh, I’d forget that way
I cried myself to sleep at night
No more heartaches from that moment on
We would live for tomorrow
All the sorrow would be gone

You’re everything, you’re everything
You’re even more than I could ever dream
You hold the key to happiness
You’re all I need, your love is everything to me

If love outlives eternity I know
That endlessly I’d follow where you go
Side by side each day we’d share something new
You’d look into my eyes and say
That we will stay together come what may
As lovers do

And then when you’d hold me tight
There’s nowhere I would rather be
Than in your arms at night
Making precious memories for two
We would promise forever
And forever we’d be true

You’re everything, you’re everything
You are the sun, the very air I breathe
I’ve told a million stars
How I’ve loved you from the start
You’re the song inside my heart

You’re everything, you’re everything
You’d show me all the joy that love could bring
My reason to be living, you’re my destiny
Your love is everything to me

You’re everything, you’re everything
You are the sun, the very air I breath
I’ve told a million stars
How I’ve loved you from the start
You’re the song inside my heart

Precious

I couldn’t see the world around me
Slowly I stumbled, I did fall
Wanted to know, what it means to love so
I defined it on my own
I believe in love and know that love is all

I promise you I searched for oh so long
And I will be strong, just let me prove my love to you
I won’t run away, won’t turn my back on you
You’re showing me the reason to believe my heart

If we believe, believe in you and me,
Our love will go on, It was meant to be
Just make a wish look deep into my heart
This feeling so real
I’ve known it from the start
And I know you understand what I’ve been thinking of
And it’s true that this time two will become one
Your precious love

I see your pain, don’t let it bring you down
You must be strong
Just hold me and I’ll show you how
Oh can’t you see that you’re not alone
Someone to share the meaning of the word true love

If we believe, believe in you and me
Our love will go on for eternity
Just hold my hand, I’ll never let it go
I’m saying a prayer just for the two of us
And I know you understand what I’ve been thinking of
And it’s true that this time two will become one
Just the two of us

So selfishly, carelessly I hurt you long ago
Now I know, I believe in something that is real
There can be truth, hope and charity a brand new start and I want to be one with you

I do believe my love will set you free
Yes I do believe I’m right here for you
Our light will shine, for an eternity
Hold on to me baby just stay close to me

If we believe, believe in you and me
Our love will go on, it was meant to be
Just make a wish look deep into my heart
This feeling so real
I’ve known it from the start
And I know you understand what I’ve been thinking of
And it’s true that this time two will become one
Your precious love

Time Goes By

What we’ve got here and now we never see
What we hold, we don’t know until it’s gone
You were mine for a while but I let you go
How could I be so blind I’ll never know

You were fire, I was ice we were sun and fog
Day and night we would fight like cat and dog
But every time you would leave I would miss you so
I can’t live with you here but I can’t let you go

Yeah just a tender word
Or just a gentle touch
Would have meant a lot
And might have saved our love

We could share endless nights
And reach the stars to shine
But alone we lie
With our stubborn pride

And as time goes by
We might learn how to bend
As time goes by
My love for you won’t end

And as time goes by
As time goes by
I’ll see you smile again
As time goes by

Little words, little lies and little wounds
Day by day, night by night got out of hand
All the games that you played I know to well
Only one who plays them too can understand

Oh peacefulness and truth
Is all I want from you
But somehow there’s too high a price to pay
No happiness for us
No tenderness and trust
We are so close but still so far away

And as time goes by
A faded photograph
And as time goes by
Though the frame is cracked

And as time goes by
As time goes by
We’ll look back and laugh
As time goes by

Everybody hurts
And everybody learns
That’s just the heart’s desire
Baby where there’s smoke you just might get burned
Love is like a fire, baby

And time goes by
If we should meet again
And as time goes by
Don’t know where or when
And as time goes by
As time goes by
Maybe we’ll be friends

M

I always wanted to be by your side
Laughing along with you til the end of time
Seasons come and go the way they do
Still my heart lives there with you

And it’s bout time I got used to being lonely
But my right arm reaches out to where you used to be
And why are these eyes of mine now a river of tears
When will they ever learn you ain’t really here
I just got to live with the fact you ain’t coming back

To me no more
(You are only in my fantasy)
You’re still with me no matter what they say
In the words that I hear
And beyond your shoulder
The future was all ours to see

So once again
(Leavin’ for the place without your love)
Why do the stars go home to the forest
Does it mean naturally
All the little things you used to do
All the fun we shared…they all fade away in time

When we first met all I needed was your shy smile
Being with you made everything feel so right
How could I know you and I have got to come to this
Oh I stared at you without a blink
Burning a picture of you in my heart and my soul

Missing you so
(You are only in my fantasy)
Longing to hear your voice in my ear
I run my fingers along
Your name in section M
Can’t erase your traces from my heart

So once again
(Leavin’ for the place without your love)
Ah, nightmare of love keeps on haunting me
The black jacket you own
In the arms of someone else
You fade away with some other one, away from me

So once again
(You are only in my fantasy)
Why do the stars go home to the forest
Does it mean naturally
All the little things you used to do
Does it mean I really have to let you go
This time around

I Believe

Hidden where no one else can see
A whirlpool in my heart of my anxiety
So many roads to follow
Not really sure which one I should take
Anyway, I’m being me
For so long, I let others tell me the way
Say goodbye to that part of yesterday

I believe myself
Cause I know it’s what I need
Everything begins when I believe within myself
Oh, I believe in me
That warm and shining light I see
To the truest thing I know that is where I’m gonna go
I believe

In front of me fill my eyes
With eternal open skies
I wanna know this feeling
Of pureness of my life

I believe myself
Cause I know it’s what I need
Everything begins when I believe within myself
Oh, I believe in me
That warm and shining light I see
To the truest thing I know that is where I’m gonna go
I believe

Yuki No Hana (Snow Flower)

Together hand in hand we walked through evening gloom
Long shadows on the pavement, cast from the sunset sky
If only this would last until the end of time
And if this is forever I swear that I could cry

The northern wind starts to blow
And the smell of winter’s in the air
As we take each step upon the ground
The season of love grows near

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
And it comes from the bottom of my heart

With you by my side, to catch me when I fall
I can cast my fears aside, feel twice as tall
If only this would last, this smile upon my face
And if this is forever, you’re my saving grace

The nights were so cold without you
And the days were always short on light
Now a fire’s warming me through
And suddenly this upturned world is feeling right

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
And it comes from the bottom of my heart

If there comes a time when you have lost your way
I’ll turn myself into a star to guide you through
If ever you find tears upon your face
I will be there, always be there for you

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
The city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Cold winds from the north blow
The sky casts its last glow
But you and I are standing strong

Jupiter

Everyday I listen to my heart
In times when I can’t see
When my faith is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in me

So when you’re lost wishing for an angel
Or a hand to pull you through
When the world is on your shoulder
Just trust the voice in you

Everyday I listen to my heart
When I’m too numb to feel
When my strength is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in…

Me, in me

Sometimes life moves in mysterious ways
And you don’t know where it will end
It’s a fight, no one can fill your place
And nothin’s like you planned

But when you call looking for an answer
To justify what you have to do
Baby don’t look any further
Just trust the voice in you

Everyday I listen to my heart
When I’m just too blind to see
When my faith is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in me

When the world is on your shoulder
And you’re looking for your way

Everyday I listen to my heart
When I’m too numb to feel
When my strength is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in me

We all have our own private war
You know those times when doubt fills your head
When all good advice will only get you misled

Everyday I listen to my heart
In times when I can’t see
When my faith is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in me

Everyday I listen to my heart
When I’m too numb to feel
When my strength is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in

Love Love Love

Whenever I
Try to tell you everything I feel inside
The words get in the way
And though my heart has tried
I wish that I could sing it to you now

A love song
Like the one I hear before the morning comes
In my dreams it always sounds so clear and strong
I wish that you could hear it too somehow

Whenever I
Try to show you all the love I feel inside
It never seems enough and tears just fill my eyes
I wish that I could say it better now

I guess I want to say that love remains
No matter how time fades away

I love you
I love you
I wish that I could sing it to you now
I wish that I could say it better now

Love, love, love I sing to you
Love I bring to you
