Summer Eyes
久保田利伸 Lyrics

いつからか君は涙見せなくなった
何かがぬすまれたように
いつからか僕は言葉隠しはじめた
何かを怖れるように
臆病な想像に君は立ち去った
夏よ風よ銀色のまま
Summer Eyes Summer Breeze
砂に埋めよう Summer Eyes
最後は通り雨に閉じ込められて
「さよなら」言うのを待った

二度とふれない指も小さな約束も
夏の風がさらっていった
Summer Eyes Summer Breeze
僕の腕から Summer Eyes
まだ消えないもう消さない
見つめた目は瞳の中呼吸の中
いつまでもそのままで
夏よ嵐よ銀色のまま
Summer Eyes Summer Breeze
砂に埋めよう Summer Eyes
I'll Never Forget,
Summer Eyes...PaPaPaPa...
I'm Still In Love,
In My Heart...PaPaPaPa...
I'll Never Forget,
Summer Eyes...PaPaPaPa...
I'm Still In Love,
In My Heart...PaPaPaPa...
I'll Never Forget,
Summer Eyes...PaPaPaPa...
