Precious Time
小柳ゆき Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

朝を待つには ちょっと寒いね
非常階段 きしんでる
ふたりで耳を 手すりにあてて
遠くなる音を 聞いていた

やがて空が開き 朝が降りてくるよ
握った手に明日が来る
Precious light, it's precious time
こうしている この時に 生まれた意味を知るの
Precious light, it's precious time
遠くに響いている 街の鼓動より強く流れてる からだの中を
今この想い just in the precious time

眼を閉じてると なぜかこわくて
もたれた肩 見つめてる
ビルの谷を抜ける風が髪を揺らす
昨日じゃない 明日でもない今

Precious light, it's precious time
君が照らしているよ 小さな胸の勇気
Precious light, it's precious time
生きてて初めてだよ 信じられる涙は
遠い空 眺めて悩んだ答えが今 ここにあるから

Precious light, it's precious time
こうしている この時に 生まれた意味を知るの
Precious light, it's precious time




遠くに響いている 街の鼓動より強く流れてる からだの中を
今この想い just in the precious time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 小柳ゆき's song "Precious Time" express the appreciation of the present moment and finding the meaning in the time we have. The song begins with the singer observing the morning, acknowledging the slight cold as she waits for it to start. The clunky sound of the emergency staircase signals the start of a new day. With her companion, she puts her ears on the railing, listening to the echoes of the distance. Eventually, the sky clears up, and morning arrives. Holding hands, they look forward to tomorrow.


The chorus emphasizes the value of time. The singer acknowledges the precious light and the precious time that she experiences at this moment. It encourages the listener to reflect on the meaning of this moment and the purpose of their journey. The city's heartbeat vibrates farther than the body, and the feelings of the present are moving strongly. The singer reflects on the importance of this moment, just in the precious time.


The second verse delves into the fear of closing one's eyes and the comfort of leaning on someone's shoulder. The wind that passes through the valley of buildings shakes their hair. The now's significance stands out by reminding the listener that it is neither yesterday nor tomorrow. The precious time is felt in the courage of a small heart, felt in tears for the very first time. The answer to yesterday's concerns lies here in today's present time.
