あなたのこと　愛し始め　もう何も見えなくて
平和だった胸の奥に　切なさが　また目覚める
Ah……　届かない　泣きたいくらい　そう……　この慕いを

あなただけは　他の男性（ひと）とは　ちがう
たとえ　愛の形が　禁じられた　夢の中
閉じこめられて　しまっても
心は　forever……　あなたに

あなたのこと　奪えるなら　生き方は選ばない
終わりのない　愛があれば　倖せと　引き換えても
Ah……　解らない　愛することが　そう……　遠すぎて

わたしだけが　悲しくなるのは　何故
たとえ　抱かれていても　禁じられた　夢の中
永遠なんて　ないけれど
心は　forever……　あなたに

いつか　生まれ変わって　あなたになれるのなら
決して　わたしのことを　離したりしない

あなただけは　他の男性（ひと）とは　ちがう
たとえ　愛の形が　禁じられた　夢の中

閉じこめられて　しまっても
心は　forever……　いつも　そばで
