愛は空に浮かんだ雲のように
風に流れかたちを変えていくけど
ずっとそっとあなたを見つめていたい
胸に頬をうずめて瞳閉じたまま
あなたの心をもっと聞かせて
どんな風にあなたへの想いを伝えよう
言葉にならないどうか教えて
こんな広い世界で巡り合えた

あなたと淡い絵の具で色をかさねて
いつかふたり未来を描きたいから
髪に肩にやさしく触れてもう一度
あなたを近くに感じていたい
そして星が降りしきる夜は連れていって
ふたりの明日が見える場所まで
胸に頬をうずめて瞳閉じたまま
あなたの心をもっと聞かせて
今日も明日も永遠に続くこの道を
あなたとふたりで歩きたいから
そして夜を飛び越えて青空仰いで
抱きしめあいたい

そういつまでもあなたと
そういつまでもあなたと
