First Love
Hikaru Utada · Single Collection V.1 [2004]
Saigo no kisu wa tabako no flavor ga shita
Nigaku tesetsunai kaori
Ashita no imagoro ni wa
Anata wa doko ni irun darou
Dare wo omotterun darou
You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
Tachi tomaru jikan ga
Ugoki dasouto shiteru
Wasuretakunai kotobakari
Ashita no imagoro niwa
Watashi wa kitto naite iru
Anata wo omotterun darou
You will always be inside my heart
Itsumo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka darekato mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Mada kanashii love song
Now and forever (ever)
Nigaku tesetsunai kaori
Ashita no imagoro ni wa
Anata wa doko ni irun darou
Dare wo omotterun darou
You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
Tachi tomaru jikan ga
Ugoki dasouto shiteru
Wasuretakunai kotobakari
Ashita no imagoro niwa
Watashi wa kitto naite iru
Anata wo omotterun darou
You will always be inside my heart
Itsumo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka darekato mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Mada kanashii love song
