[English]

もう独りで歩けない 時代の風が強すぎて

Ah 傷つくことなんて 慣れたはず だけど今は...

Ah このまま抱きしめて 濡れたままの心を

変わり続けるこの時代に 変わらない愛があるなら

Will you hold my heart 涙 受け止めて

もう壊れそうなAll my heart

Forever Love Forever Dream 溢れる想いだけが

激しく せつなく 時間を埋め尽くす Oh Tell me why

All I see is blue in my heart

Will you stay with me 風が過ぎ去るまで

また 溢れ出す All my tears

Forever Love Forever Dream このままそばにいて

夜明けに震える心を抱きしめて Oh Stay with me

Ah 全てが終わればいい 終りのないこの夜に

Ah 失うものなんて 何もない 貴方だけ

Forever Love Forever Dream このままそばにいて

夜明けに震える心を抱きしめて

Ah Will you stay with me 風が過ぎ去るまで もう誰よりもそばに

Forever Love Forever Dream これ以上 歩けない

Oh Tell me why Oh Tell me true 教えて 生きる意味を

Forever Love Forever Dream 溢れる涙の中

輝く季節が 永遠に変わるまで Forever Love
