Reisei na manazashi de kono chijou no in to yo wo
Sayuu ni kakiwaketeku
Watashi wa ano koro kara kimi wo mane shitakute
Sukoshi togarashita kuchibiru de saki e tsukisusumu
Miwatasu kagiri hirogaru
Uso no sakanai sougen wo
Yume no naka de mita koto ga aru
Soko de kimi wo matteru
* Kandouteki ni owaru SUTOORII hajimari wa
Ano hi kimi ga itta I love you
Machikirenai yo kouhan SUTAATO
ENDORESU ni utagau yori saigo made

Kotoba ni zenbu wa takusenakutemo
Koe ni daseba sukoshi wa kanarazu tsutawaru hazu
Ma mo naku tokiakasareru shinjitsu
Issho ni tashikameyou

* repeat
Senrosoi hashiridasu kage ni furikaeru
Ano hi kimi ga itta I love you
Oikakechau yo zutto zutto
