寒い夜だから
Vocabulary from TRF: '寒い夜だから'.
寒い夜だから 明日を待ちわびて
どんな言葉でもいいよ 誰か伝えて
今日 出会ったよ なつかしい私と
遠い思い出と近い現実
ずっとこのまま 時計の針さえも
違う場所を指す そんな2人に
もし なって かすんだ夢追って
近頃 自分が戻ったとしても…
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
寒い夜だけは あなたを待ちわびて
どんな言葉でも きっと構わないから
声が聞きたくて想い歌に託すよ
街よ！ 伝えて欲しい変わらぬ想いを
もう 何処にもいる場所さえなくて
都会の合鍵は今は置きざりで
もし とても傷ついた羽 癒す
役目を あなたが今でも持ってくれたなら…
I miss you, I miss you
寒い夜だから 明日を待ちわびて
どんな言葉でもいいよ 誰か伝えて
“きっと君のこと 大切に感じる”
同じ想いを描く 私を信じて
