心みだれて～Say it with flowers～
小林明子 Lyrics
どうしてかしら 心みだれて
ときめく 少女のように
鏡みつめて 泣くのよ
Say it with flowers
My true love
恋は罪びと
知らず知らずに 魅かれて
見つめ合う 瞳のまぶしさ
息も出来ずに 腕の中
いつか 気づけば 違うわたしが
輝く頬を バラ色に染めて
砕けてく 昨日の愛に背中向けるの
まだ迷いながら
My ture love
You're telling me
to take your hand
To fly away with you
Far away
夢でいいのよ 花の香りに
抱かれて眠る 蜉蝣のように
過ぎてゆく 時のはかなさ
貴方の胸で 燃えつきてみたい
My trule love
波立つ想いに 心みだれて 涙ぐむ
心みだれて 涙くむ
When you fall in love again
Flowers in your heart
ときめく 少女のように
鏡みつめて 泣くのよ
Say it with flowers
My true love
恋は罪びと
知らず知らずに 魅かれて
見つめ合う 瞳のまぶしさ
息も出来ずに 腕の中
いつか 気づけば 違うわたしが
砕けてく 昨日の愛に背中向けるの
まだ迷いながら
My ture love
You're telling me
to take your hand
To fly away with you
Far away
夢でいいのよ 花の香りに
抱かれて眠る 蜉蝣のように
過ぎてゆく 時のはかなさ
貴方の胸で 燃えつきてみたい
My trule love
波立つ想いに 心みだれて 涙ぐむ
心みだれて 涙くむ
When you fall in love again
Flowers in your heart

どうしてかしら
心みだれて
ときめく 少女のように
鏡みつめて 泣くのよ
Say it with flowers
My true love
恋は罪びと
知らず知らずに 魅かれて
見つめ合う 瞳のまぶしさ
息もできずに
腕の中
いつか 気づけば
違うわたしが
輝く頬を バラ色に染めて
砕けてく 昨日の愛に
背中向けるの
まだ迷いながら
My true love
you're telling me to take your hand
to fly away with you
far away
夢でいいのよ
花の香りに
抱かれて眠る
蜻蛉(かげろう)のように
過ぎてゆく 時のはかなさ
貴方の胸で
燃えつきてみたい
My true love
波立つ想いに
心みだれて
涙ぐむ
心みだれて
涙ぐむ
When you fall in love again
flowers in your heart

小林明子さんの楽曲の中では：恋に落ちて：が代表曲及び最大のヒット曲ですが、個人的には爽やかなメロディーラインのこの曲の方が好きですね、小林さんの名曲の一つだと思います。☺

恋に落ちては、昭和。
心みだれては、令和でも全然通用する。 ごめんなさい🙇。

1:55 曲全体もムーディーでとっても好きなんですが、特にこの曲の間奏が好きなんです。同じ感情をお持ちの方いますか？

平日の朝、富士山と湘南の海を眺められる大きな窓があるカフェで一杯のカフェオレを飲みながら、タブレットから「今日は会社休みます」と仮病欠勤を連絡した後の解放感。。。
