Ne aishitara daremo ga
Konna kodoku ni naru no?
Ne kurayami yori mo fukai kurushimi
Dakishimeteru no?

Nani mo ka mo ga futari
kagayaku tame Kitto

#1: Kimiwo Kimiwo aishiteru
Kokoro de mitsumete iru
Kimiwo Kimiwo shinjiteru
Samui yoru mo

Ne koi shite mo dare ni mo itsuka
owari ga kuru no?
Ne aozora yori mo sunda
Tokimeki suteteshimau no?

Kisetsu kawaru no kaze
Michi wo hashiru zutto

Repeat #1

Tatoe ashita nakushite mo
Anata wo ushinatte mo
Dekiru kagiri no
egao de kagayakitai

Namida de ima yobi kakeru
Yakusoku nado iranai
Kimiga kureta taisetsu
tsuyosa dakara

Hitomi de ima yobi kakeru
Yakusoku nado iranai
Hitomi de ima te wo nobasu
Samui yoru mo

Hey if you fall in love
Does everyone become this lonely?
Hey are you embracing this pain
Deeper than the darkness?

Everything is for these two
to shine For sure

#1: I'm in love with you
I'm watching you with my heart
I believe in you
Even on a cold night.

Hey even if someone falls in love
Will it come to an end someday?
Hey will you forsake this love
Clearer than the blue sky

The winds of the changing seasons
I run down the road, all the way

Repeat #1

Even if I lose tomorrow
Even if I forsake you
I want to keep shining with
a smile as long as I can.

I call to you with my tears
I don't need a promise (or anything of the sort)
Because I have the precious strength
you have given me

I call you with a look
I don't need a promise (or anything of the sort)
I reach for you with a look
Even on this cold night.
