[English]

輝いたのは鏡でも太陽でもなくて

君だと気付いたときから

あの涙ぐむ雲のずっと上には微笑む月

Love story またひとつ

傷ついた夢は昨日の彼方へ

空に響け

愛の歌

思い出ずっとずっと忘れない空

ふたりが離れていっても

こんな好きな人に出逢う季節二度とない

光ってもっと最高のLady

きっとそっと想い届く

信じることがすべて Love so sweet

...

そこからいつも見えるように

この手を空に向け

広がる君との思い出

あのかたくなで意地っ張りな

僕を変えた君の手

Love story 歩き出す

曲がりくねってたふたつの旅路は

ここでひとつ

虹になれ

思い出ずっとずっと追いかけた夢

ふたりが遠くへ行っても

どんな辛い夜もくじけそうな誓いでも

笑ってもっと最後のLady

きっとそっと願い届く

明けない夜はないよ Love so sweet

...

伝えきれぬ愛しさは

花になって街に降って

どこにいても君をここに感じてる

思い出ずっとずっと忘れない空

ふたりが離れていっても

こんな好きな人に出逢う季節二度とない

光ってもっと最高のLady

きっとそっと想い届く

信じることがすべて

明けない夜はないよ

信じることがすべて Love so sweet

...
