吉幾三 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あなたが好きだからそれでいいのよ
たとえ一緒に街を歩けなくても
この部屋にいつも帰ってくれたら

わたしは待つ身の女でいいの
盡くして泣きぬれてそして愛されて
時がふたりを離さぬように
見つめて寄りそってそして抱きしめて

このままあなたの胸で暮らしたい

めぐり逢い少しだけ遅いだけなの
何も言わずいてねわかっているわ

心だけせめて殘してくれたら
わたしは見送る女でいいの
盡くして泣きぬれてそして愛されて
明(あ)日(す)がふたりをこわさぬように
離れて戀しくてそして會いたくて
このままあなたの胸で眠りたい

盡くして泣きぬれてそして愛されて
明(あ)日(す)がふたりをこわさぬように

離れて戀しくてそして會いたくて
このままあなたの胸で暮らしたい
