[English]

To you, yes, my love, to you

Yes, my love, to you, you, to you

I am myself, and you are you

I feel like I said that last night

The coffee stain on the gray jacket looks familiar

You're still the same, aren't you?

If we see ourselves in the shop window

Stay with me

Knocking on the midnight door

I cried, don’t go back

That season is right in front of my eyes now

Stay with me

While saying my favorite words

Holding onto our time together

Still not forgetting, treasuring it

Love and romance are different things

Last night, I feel like I was told that too

Winter comes for the second time, your heart that was distant from me

Looking back, I always felt you there

Stay with me

Knocking on the midnight door

A hole opened in my heart

That season is right in front of me now

Stay with me

Warding off loneliness, the needle on the record

Repeating the same melody

Stay with me

Knocking on the midnight door

Crying, don’t go back

That season is right in front of me now

Stay with me

While saying my favorite words, holding onto our time

Still not forgetting, keeping it warm

Stay with me

Knocking on the midnight door

Crying, don’t go back

That season is right in front of me now

Stay with me

[Japanese]

to you yes my love to you

yes my love to you, you, to you

私は私　あなたはあなたと

夕べ言ってた　そんな気もするわ

グレイのジャケットに　見覚えがあるコーヒーのシミ

相変わらずなのね　

ショーウィンドウに2人映れば

stay with me

真夜中のドアをたたき

帰らないでと泣いた

あの季節が今目の前

stay with me

口癖を言いながら

2人の時を抱いて

まだ忘れず大事にしていた

恋と愛とは違うものだよ

夕べ言われたそんな気もする

2度目の冬が来て　離れていたあなたの心

振り返ればいつも　そこにあなたを感じていたの

stay with me

真夜中のドアを叩き

心に穴が開いた

あの季節が　今目の前

stay with me

寂しさまぎらわして　置いたレコードの針

同じメロディ繰り返していた

stay with me

真夜中のドアを叩き

帰らないでと泣いた

あの季節が今目の前

stay with me

口癖を言いながら　2人の時を抱いて

まだ忘れず　温めてた

stay with me

真夜中のドアをたたき

帰らないでと泣いた

あの季節が　今　目の前

stay with me
