Lyrics[]

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
その向こうに　咲いた花は	sono mukou ni saita hana wa
笑うように　ただ綺麗で	warau you ni tada kireide
息を止めて　眠る君は	iki o tomete nemuru kimi wa
その笑顔を　咲かせたまま･･･	sono egao o sakaseta mama...

「ありがとう」と僕は告げた	"arigatou" to boku wa tsugeta
いつものように　あの日のように	itsumo no you ni ano hi no you ni
「さよなら」の意味を知れば	"sayonara" no imi o shireba
この心が　砕けそうで	kono kokoro ga kudake soude

ただ素直に　その心に	tada sunao ni sono kokoro ni
その笑顔に　触れたいから	sono egao ni furetai kara

溢れ出す涙　堪えて　君を見つめては	afure dasu namida koraete kimi o mitsumete wa
永遠を願い続けた　日々を重ねてく	eien o negai tsudzuketa hibi o kasanete ku
限りあることだから　その目に輝いた？	kagiri aru koto dakara sono me ni kaga yaita?
限りない心と　その心を　繋いでよ	kagiri nai kokoro to sono kokoro o tsunaide yo

いつも　いつでも　側にいたいよ　と	itsumo itsu demo soba ni itai yo to
繰り返す程に　その手に握る　尊さが	kuri kaesu hodo ni sono te ni nigiru touto sa ga
届かない声は　今　静かに微笑んで	todo kanai koe wa ima shizuka ni hoho ende
全てを拒んで　目を閉じた	subete o kobande me o tojita
その景色は　嘘に　溶けて	sono keshiki wa uso ni tokete

形のある　限りのある	katachi no aru kagiri no aru
その姿は　いつか朽ちて	sono sugata wa itsuka kuchite
形のない　限りのない	katachi no nai kagiri no nai
この心は　どうすればいい？	kono kokoro wa dou sureba ii?

ただ素直に　もう二人で	tada sunao ni mou futari de
歩くことは　できないから	aruku koto wa dekinai kara

溢れ出す涙　堪えて　空を見上げては	afure dasu namida koraete sora wo miagete wa
永遠を願い続けて　君を探してる	eien o negai tsudzukete kimi wo saga shiteru
限りあるものだけが　この目に輝いて	kagiri aru mono dake ga kono me ni kagayaite
限りない鼓動を　その鼓動を　与えてよ	kagiri nai kodou o sono kodou o ataete yo

いつも　いつでも　側にいたいよ　と	itsumo itsu demo soba ni itai yo to
繰り返す程に　その手に握る　愚かさが	kuri kaesu hodo ni sono te ni nigiru oroka sa ga
戻れない日々は　今　静かに微笑んで	modo renai hibi wa ima shizuka ni hoho ende
全てを拒んで　目を閉じた	subete o kobande me o tojita
その景色は　嘘に　見えて	sono keshiki wa uso ni miete

繰り返して　繰り返して	kuri kaeshite kuri kaeshite
限りのある　時の中で	kagiri no aru toki no naka de
でも　心に　映る君は	demo kokoro ni utsuru kimi wa
何故　笑うの？　ねぇ･･･	naze warau no? nee...

溢れ出す涙　堪えて	afure dasu namida koraete

―涙　堪えて　君を見つめてた―	―namida koraete kimi o mitsume teta―
―永遠を願い続けて　此処（ここ）に生きている―	―eien o negai tsudzukete koko ni ikite iru―
―限りあることだから　その目に輝いて―	―kagiri aru koto dakara sono me ni kagayaite―
―限りない心と　その心を　繋いでよ―	―kagiri nai kokoro to sono kokoro o tsunaide yo―

―いつも　いつでも側に　いるんだよ―	―itsumo itsu demo soba ni irunda yo―
溢れ出す涙　想いは　今　時を超えて	afure dasu namida omoi wa ima toki o koete
形ないものだけが　静かに色づいた	katachi nai mono dake ga shizuka ni irozuita
限りある時の　その中で	kagiri aru toki no sono naka de
少しだけ　心に　触れて	sukoshi dake kokoro ni furete
