あのひと
山口百恵 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

愛されてると感じたら
女の子だれでも綺麗になるのよ
窓に咲いた花を黒髪に飾って
表に出かけるの

みんなが立ち止る振り返る
あの人の他の誰にも心はあげないわ
倖せなんて自分には

感じないものでも人には分るの
胸がふくらむのは
あの人の匂いがもうじき近いから

愛されてると感じたら
女の子なんだかやさしくなるのよ
空に遊ぶ鳥に手のひらをのばして
挨拶かわすのよ

ちょっぴりはにかんで赤くなる
あの人の他の誰にも泪は見せないわ
淋しさなんて忘れたわ
今日から私のすべてが変るの
指がふるえるのは
あの人の小指にもうじき触れるから

ちょっぴりはにかんで赤くなる
あの人の他の誰にも泪は見せないわ
淋しさなんて忘れたわ
今日から私のすべてが変るの

指がふるえるのは
あの人の小指にもうじき触れるから
