大塚愛 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
優しく触れてみる
あなたは ほんのり温かい
幸せ ありがとう
月日とともに 絆ができた
もうこんなに 時間(とき)が経って
穏やかに あなたの成長を見た
恋のような 愛のような
あなたは ほんのり温かい
幸せ ありがとう
ため息 もらして
下を向いた 向日葵になったら
あたしの名前呼んで
思い出して 触れてみて
あたしの寝顔 目を覚まし
抱きしめるよ
恋のような 愛のような
優しく触れてみる
あなたは ほんのり温かい
幸せ ありがとう
恋のような 愛のような
優しく触れてみる
あなたは ほんのり温かい
幸せ ありがとう
The lyrics to 大塚愛's song LOVE LETTER depict a love that is gentle, warm, and appreciated. The singer compares this love to that of a romantic love, but it is more like the love one has for a close friend. She thanks this person for being a source of happiness in her life and for growing alongside her over time. The reference to the sunflower signifies how even in moments of sadness (represented by the flower drooping), she knows this person will be there to call out her name and comfort her. The last verse suggests that this person is someone the singer can fully trust and rely on, as she is comfortable enough to show her asleep and allow herself to be held tightly.
Overall, the song is a heartwarming tribute to the special people in our lives who provide warmth, comfort, and support. The comparison between romantic and platonic love shows that both types of love can be equally important and impactful. The lyrics also highlight the importance of growing and evolving alongside those we love, and how that can deepen our bonds and make us appreciate them even more.
