[English]

Looking at the shining stars beyond the sky

My chest hurts just watching them

Even the past that will never come back again

The wind blows, stirring my heart

Under the moonlight, crying alone

Even on days like that, you were laughing

No matter how much time passes

Holding onto the warmth that never changes

Because you were here, because I was by your side

I can look forward to tomorrow

We can even go beyond sorrow

Holding your hand tightly, feeling stronger

Thank you, I wanted to tell you that

Things haven't been going well lately

On my way home, I thought of you

Holding a faded photograph

Nostalgic, both your voice and your scent

Feeling heartache and pain

On that night I searched for you relentlessly

The shining stars flow by

It's okay, you always told me so, right?

Because you were here, because I was by your side

Even if we're far apart

Deep in my heart, I still want to see you again

I want you to hold me gently

I want to tell you my feelings that can't be put into words

It's a miracle that we met in the corner of this endless world

I won't forget, even now, forever

Because you were here, because I was by your side

Even if we're far apart

Deep in my heart, I still want to see you again

I want you to hold me gently

I want to tell you my feelings that can't be put into words

...

[Japanese]

空のかなたに光る星を

眺めてると 胸がいたくて

もう二度と戻らない過去も

風が吹いて 心ふるわせる

月に照らされ 一人で泣いてた

そんな日も君が笑ってた

どんなに時がたっても

ずっとまだ変わらないぬくもりを 抱いて

君がいたから 側にいたから

明日を見つめてゆける

悲しみさえも 超えてゆけるよ

強く 手を握りしめた

ありがとう そう君に伝えたくて

うまくいかないことばかりで

帰り道に君を想った

色褪せた写真を手にした

懐かしいね その声も匂いも

せつなくなって 苦しくなって

君を夢中で探した夜

輝く星が 流れる

大丈夫 そう教えてくれたよね いつも

君がいたから 側にいたから

例え遠く離れても

心の奥で また「会いたいよ」

優しく 抱き締めてほしい

言葉にできない想い 伝えたくて

果てない 世界のかたすみ 出逢えた奇跡だね

忘れないから今も 永遠に

君がいたから 側にいたから

例え遠く離れても

心の奥で また「会いたいよ」

優しく 抱き締めてほしい

言葉にできない想い 伝えたくて
