チェリー

Spitz J-pop Japanese

Vocabulary from Spitz (スピッツ): 'Cherry (チェリー)' (1996).

君を忘れない 曲がりくねった道を行く

産まれたての太陽と 夢を渡る黄色い砂

二度と戻れない くすぐり合って転げた日

きっと 想像した以上に 騒がしい未来が僕を待ってる

「愛してる」の響きだけで 強くなれる気がしたよ

ささやかな喜びを つぶれるほど抱きしめて

こぼれそうな思い 汚れた手で書き上げた

あの手紙はすぐにでも捨てて欲しいと言ったのに

少しだけ眠い 冷たい水でこじあけて

今 せかされるように 飛ばされるように 通り過ぎてく

「愛してる」の響きだけで 強くなれる気がしたよ

いつかまた この場所で 君とめぐり会いたい

どんなに歩いても たどりつけない 心の雪でぬれた頬

悪魔のふりして 切り裂いた歌を 春の風に舞う花びらに変えて

君を忘れない 曲がりくねった道を行く

きっと 想像した以上に 騒がしい未来が僕を待ってる

「愛してる」の響きだけで 強くなれる気がしたよ

ささやかな喜びを つぶれるほど抱きしめて

ズルしても真面目にも生きてゆける気がしたよ

いつかまた この場所で 君とめぐり会いたい
