さよならbyebye
Vocabulary from Matsuko Mawatari (馬渡松子): 'Sayonara Bye Bye (さよならbyebye)' (Yu Yu Hakusho ED1 (幽☆遊☆白書 ED1) · 1993).
ふっ切るはずの心に そっと横切る風は優しく
向かい合って握った手と手を いつもの黄昏が包み 溶かしてゆく
おかしいね これぽっちも似ていない貴方と私の微笑(えがお) 今では
鏡を見てるような気分
悲しまない 平気だからね
何気ない挨拶に隠れてる “ありがとう”
さよならbye bye 元気でいてね
私から切り出したけじめだからキャッチしてよ
ついさっきまで まともに 未来のこと話せないでいた
実らない想いの数 増えるほど 優しくなってきたけれど
今だけ 少しくらいは とがりたくて……
悲しまない そろそろ行くよ
他愛ない挨拶と間違えて振り返る
さよならbye bye 元気でいてね
年に二枚くらいの葉書ならキャッチするよ
きっといつか いつか会える
いいよ 返さなくてもいいよ CDも ブルースハープも
悲しまない 悲しまないで
不意打ちを食らう顔見せないで ピッとしなよ
さよならbye bye 元気でいてね
おめでとうとどちらか言えるとき 会ってみたい
悲しまない 平気だからね
何気ない挨拶に隠れてる “ありがとう”
さよならbye bye 元気でいてね
私から切り出したけじめだからキャッチしてよ
さよならbye bye 元気でいてね
年に二枚くらいの葉書ならキャッチするよ
さよならbye bye 元気でいてね
私から切り出したけじめだからキャッチしてよ
