Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
届いた手紙 戻れない予感
見慣れた文字に それぞれの
秋の気配
感じてたのさ
Kiss of life
どんな束の間の恋でさえ
思い出に変える
夢で会えたら 目が覚めても
まるで君が(傍に)
朝の陽射し(包まれて)
出会いの日の ページをめくる
Kiss of time
こんなひとときの優しさで
愛のかたち 知るなんて
ああ不思議なことさ
離れていても 君を想う
時はいつも(Kiss of love)
変らないさ(忘れない)
ふたりだけの 季節の中で

The second stanza of the song talks about how meeting someone in a dream is almost like seeing them in person. It is an experience that can be treasured forever, especially when waking up to reality can feel like a letdown. Woven into the lyrics is a sense of hope, that even in separation, the time spent together has left a permanent imprint. The chorus of the song holds the refrain, "Kiss of Time" and talks about the beauty of the present moment and how even the tiniest moments can be full of love and wonder.
