さよならだけは言わないで
五輪真弓 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

別れ雨が
わたしの心を濡らす
あなたはもう傘さえ
寄せてくれないのね
あの楽しい日々は
愛のかげぼうし
夢だというの
この街の角に

春が来ても
明日からはひとり歩く
わたしの前に
うしろすがたの
あなたがみえるだけ

行かないでと
ひとことひざまづいても
心の奥のさびしさ
いやせはしないのね
今さよならだけは言わないで
そんな言葉を
幸せおきざりに
たったひとつそんな言葉を
二人の愛の想い出にしたくない
今さよならだけは言わないで

あの楽しい日々は
愛のかげぼうし
夢だというの
この街の角に
春が来ても
明日からは
ひとり歩く私の前に

うしろすがたの
あなたがみえるだけ
